GREEN BAY, Wis. — Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative will award $10,000 in secondary education scholarships to its membership, the cooperative announced today.
Two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to current students pursuing a four-year or two-year degree. Three $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors.
Applicants must be seniors, high school graduates, or undergraduates. They must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time course of study at an accredited four-year college or university or a two-year program at a technical, junior, or community college. The study area does not need to be agriculture-related, but applicants must depend on an Edge member.
“Our scholarship program is an excellent way for us to give back to our members, invest in the future of the next generation, and affirm our support for continuing education,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Trotter said. “Edge is committed to supporting our membership, empowering youth, and fostering community growth. These scholarships offer a way that we can work to achieve that goal.”
Scholarship recipients will be selected based on academic achievement, leadership, participation in school and community activities, academic honors, goals and aspirations, recommendations, and work experience.
The full application and guidelines can be found on the Edge website. The application portal will remain open now until April 1. Applications must be submitted through the online application portal by April 1.
