Northern Co-op Foundation scholarships for the 2025-2026 school year were awarded to eight deserving Minnesota students. Those selected were as follows: Jade Benning, Eagle Bend; Isaac Evenson, Albany; Kate Van Erp, Cold Spring; Madelyn Hunt, South Haven; Lanna Walter, Sauk Centre; Katie Orth, Randall; Ethan Guggenberger, Cold Spring; Gavin Dahle, St. Augusta.
Northern Co-op Foundation scholarships are awarded to students from the four state areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Students need to be seniors in or a graduate of high school who show potential for significant contributions to cooperative organizations. They must be enrolled at an institution of higher learning, and will take a course in business or economics that studies the principles of cooperatives. The Northern Co-op Foundation Board commends these fine youth and all others who applied this past year. They encourage students to apply for future scholarships by obtaining an application at Stearns Electric Association’s website at www.stearnselectric.org. Applications must be submitted on or before the Feb. 1 deadline.
Applications are also available through the local high school guidance counselors and the Northern Co-op Foundation Board of Directors.
