The Baraboo-based Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association is offering ten $1,250 scholarships to students who have completed two or more semesters at an accredited college, university or technical school; as well as two $1,000 scholarships specifically for students earning degrees from technical colleges. The company says they are naming one recipient in each of Equity's districts.
Scholarship winners are selected based on their scholastic achievements, extracurricular activities, application essay response and dedication to a career.
"Equity Livestock is proud to help students further their educational endeavors by offering scholarships," said CEO Curt Larson. "Education can make a difference, and the expense to attend college can be a challenge. Offering scholarships can help make it affordable, and we believe in investing in our future leaders."
To be eligible, applicants must be a member or the son or daughter of an Equity Cooperative Livestock producer pursuing higher education from an accredited college, university, or technical school.
