St. Paul, MN—The CHS Foundation has awarded 75 $1,000 scholarships to college students studying agriculture. 50 high school graduated seniors and 25 two-year college students were selected from the two separate scholarship programs.
The CHS Foundation is the major giving entity of CHS Inc., a Fortune 100 energy, grains and foods company.
“As the agricultural industry continues to grow, it’s vitally important that we continue to build the next generation of leaders in the production, science, technology and business of agriculture,” says William J. Nelson, CHS Foundation president.
“We are proud to support these promising students who will play an important role in the future of agriculture, food and natural resources.”
An independent, external committee selected recipients based on their career goals, essays, extra curricular involvement, transcripts and reference letters.
