Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative Scholarships

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative offers $10,000 a year in secondary education scholarships to the children of its dairy-farmer members. Five $2,000 awards go to high school seniors and current two- or four-year college students. Recipients are selected on academics, leadership, activities, goals, recommendations and work experience.

• Applicants must be high school seniors, graduates, or college undergraduates.

• Must be enrolled or planning to enroll full-time at an accredited four-year college or university or a two-year program at a technical, junior or community college.

• The area of study does not need to be agriculture-related, but applicants must be dependents of an Edge member.

Selection based on academic achievement, leadership, participation in school and community activities, academic honors, goals and aspirations, recommendations and work experience.

Published amounts: Two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to current students pursuing a degree in a four—or two-year program, and three $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors. ($10,000 total)
