Insuring a Brighter Tomorrow Scholarship recipients announced
For the sixth straight year, the South Dakota Farmers Union Foundation, in cooperation with Farmers Union Insurance, are giving out thousands of dollars in scholarships through the “Insuring a Brighter Tomorrow” scholarship program. Twentysix high school seniors from across South Dakota will share $26,000 in scholarships to be used to further their education at a South Dakota post-secondary school. Over the past six years, the Foundation has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to students attending South Dakota post-secondary schools. Each of the 26 scholarship recipients will receive $1,000 to put toward their post-secondary
education at a South Dakota college, university or technical school. The recipients were chosen from among a large pool of applicants. They were scored based on a combination of academic record, activities and awards, financial need, and an essay relating to how they will, “Insure a Brighter Tomorrow,” in South Dakota. Farmers Union Insurance agents throughout the state fund this scholarship program administered by the Farmers Union Foundation. “Every year it gets more difficult to choose from the great students who apply,” said Wayne Bartscher, Regional Manager of Farmers Union
