2014 Iowa Cooperative Foundation Scholarship Winners!
The Iowa Institute for Cooperatives is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 Iowa Cooperative Foundation Scholarships.
The awards were given to full time students at two and four year colleges or universities who had work experience or an internship at Iowa Institute for Cooperatives member cooperatives. We received 51 applications and they were evaluated based on their leadership experience, cooperative work experience, cooperative essay question and references. The committee was so pleased with the quality of the applications they awarded seven scholarships instead of the planned six.
The following students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship award for the 2014-15 school year. Congratulations to all of them and thank you to our members for their generous support of this new program.
