Cooperative Resources International (CRI) is offering a new scholarship to youth pursuing higher education in the 2015-2016 academic year. 

“We are pleased to announce the CRI collegiate scholarship for students seeking a career in the agriculture industry,” states Terri Dallas, CRI Vice President of Information and Public Relations. “More specifically, this scholarship benefits students who are jumpstarting their agricultural learning through active involvement on a dairy or ranch owned by an AgSource Cooperative Services or Genex Cooperative, Inc. member.” 

CRI will award a minimum of four $750 scholarships to undergraduate students attending a four-year college/university or a two-year technical college this fall. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in an agricultural field. All applicants must also be affiliated with a member of a CRI cooperative subsidiary (AgSource or Genex) by having an active role on the member’s dairy or ranch. 

The deadline to apply is March 31, 2015. For more information and to apply, visit http://bit.ly/CRIscholarship
