CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – On behalf of thousands of local farmer members, the employees of Ceres Solutions Cooperative have the pleasure of announcing the 10 recipients of the cooperative’s Scholarship Award to high school seniors. Most awards are being presented at local school achievement programs. We celebrate the students and families who will put the funds to good use in the coming school year.

“It is our privilege to invest in these rising future leaders of our industry through this scholarship program,” says Jeff Troike, CEO of Ceres Solutions. “As a cooperative, it is one of our core commitments to give back each year in the local communities in which we serve.”

Selection criteria for each $1,000 award emphasized involvement in agricultural youth groups such as 4-H and FFA. Students must be the children or grandchildren of current cooperative members to apply for these high school scholarships.
