Apr 17, 2025
April 17, 2025 (Lincoln, Ne) - Frontier Cooperative is pleased to announce the recipients of its scholarship program, recognizing 24 outstanding area students. Each scholarship, valued at $1,000, is designated to support the pursuit of further education beyond the high school level. Following a thorough review of applications, Frontier’s Board of Directors carefully selected the recipients based on various criteria, including minimum GPA requirements, a commitment to continued education with a focus on agricultural-related studies, and active involvement in the local agricultural and Frontier Cooperative community.
Jeremy Wilhelm, Chief Executive Officer of Frontier Cooperative, said Frontier Cooperative's support of agricultural education reflects our mission to ensure generational success in agriculture.
"Investing in agricultural education is how we support students who are seeking to grow the skills needed to thrive in today’s complex and ever-evolving ag industry. This commitment not only strengthens the future of agriculture but also supports our rural Nebraska communities. We celebrate the accomplishments of local high school students and look forward to seeing the impact they’ll make in the years ahead."
Below is a list of the 24 scholarship winners, along with their parents, high schools, and intended colleges:
