Investing in Future Leaders
As a farmer-owned cooperative, NuWay Cooperative is focused on serving our members and the communities in which we live and work. We're keenly aware of the need to develop tomorrow's leaders for agriculture and for our rural cities and towns.
Each spring, we award up to 10 scholarships to students attending or planning to attend accredited colleges, universities, and technical schools. Application for these scholarships is open to all NuWay Cooperative patrons and employees—and their children.
Scholarships will be awarded to eligible applicants based on leadership, scholastic achievement, extra-curricular activities, and community involvement. Read our Scholarship information to determine your eligibility.
Download an application at this website. Applications must be submitted by March 31, 2012. Scholarships will be awarded April 30, 2012.
Ag a good career track
You need not study agriculture to be eligible for a NuWay Cooperative scholarship. In this economy, however, agriculture offers stability that other career tracks do not. A new study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce finds that agriculture and natural resources majors have one of the lowest unemployment rates. Read the study.
