Since its creation in 1961 the Cenex Foundation scholarship program has awarded $1.3 million to more than 2,000 students pursuing agricultural and cooperative studies at designated schools in the Cenex trade area. The scholarship program recently was expanded as the result of $1 million in contributions from Cenex and its subsidiaries to the private, non-profit foundation. “ We are pleased with the in creasing level of interest in these scholarship program s from students pursuing ag careers,” said Cenex Foundation manager Mary Kaste. “ Our ongoing ob jective is to increase the number and caliber of individuals enter ing agricultural careers.” Cenex Foundation Scholarship Program recipients are selected on the basis of their academic achievement and potential con tributions to agriculture and agribusiness. The scholarship program provides students at selected two-year schools with a one time $500 grant in either their first or second year of study. The Cenex Foundation also presents cooperative studies scholarships to 78 students at designated universities throughout the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. The Cenex Foundation was established in 1947. In addition to the scholarship program, its missions include assisting rural youth programs, cooperative and conservation programs.
