United Cooperative Scholarship

United Cooperative's Scholarship Program awards $1,000 scholarships to up to 50 high school seniors and current college/technical school students who are continuing their full-time education in 2026-2027.
 

To be eligible:

  • Previous United Cooperative scholarship award winners are not eligible to apply for the college or technical school continuing education awards. 
  • Student or parent must be one of United Cooperative’s 16,000+ active patron members.
  • Student must plan to attend (or be currently enrolled in) an accredited college, university, or technical school. 
  • Students must be planning to enroll in the 2027 Spring term.
  • Student must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale.

 

At least 10 scholarships will be awarded to students majoring in an agricultural field, at least 10 to students attending a technical school, and at least 10 to current college or technical school students continuing their full-time education in 2026-2027. The remaining scholarships are open to all majors.
 

Cooperative Network’s Federated Youth Foundation committee will choose the scholarship winners. Applicants will be judged on their leadership skills, scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, motivation, and academic and personal goals. Scholarships are paid from United Cooperative’s Federated Youth Foundation account to the winning student when a questionnaire is completed, a transcript is received showing the Fall 2026 semester has been completed, and proof of registration for the Spring 2027 semester is provided. More information will be emailed to winners in December.
