ALCIVIA, a leading agricultural cooperative, has announced the recipients of its annual scholarship program, awarding $1,000 each to 25 students across Wisconsin. The scholarships, presented during a hybrid in-person and virtual reception, support high school seniors and current college students pursuing various post-secondary paths.
Jim Dell, CEO and President of ALCIVIA, emphasized the program's significance: "Supporting the next generation of agricultural and community leaders is a great pleasure of ours. These scholarships represent more than financial support - they're an investment in students who demonstrate outstanding dedication to their education, extracurricular activities, and local communities."
The recipients, hailing from diverse educational institutions, are pursuing studies at universities, technical colleges, and short-course programs throughout the state and beyond. The scholarships were awarded based on academic achievement, leadership qualities, extracurricular involvement, personal motivation, and clearly defined educational and career goals.
Since its inception in 1989, ALCIVIA's scholarship program has awarded over 950 scholarships totaling more than $500,000. This initiative is part of the cooperative's broader Giving Back program, which aims to strengthen agriculture and the communities it serves.
Board Chairman Jim Lange noted, "Every year, we're inspired by the drive and passion of our scholarship recipients. It's rewarding to hear their stories and know we're helping them build a bright future."
