NEW Cooperative Awards Scholarships To Local Students

For over 20 years, the NEW Cooperative scholarship program has been supporting area students. In that time, they have awarded over $200,000 to full-time students in agricultural programs at Iowa colleges. The students can be high school seniors or college freshmen, sophomores or juniors as long as they are dependents of NEW Cooperative members or employees. This year, seven students have been selected to receive $2,000 each to help with their college education. These students demonstrate outstanding leadership, academic success and a strong desire to pursue a career in agriculture. Local scholarship winners include: Hannah Corey, daughter of Perry and Stacy Corey of Lake City; Christopher Onken, son of Dave and Betty Onken of Glidden; Kalli Weber, daughter of Frank and Leona Weber of Mapleton; Alexandra Miller, daughter of Brent and Julie Miller of Onawa; Leslie Loehr, daughter of Jeff and Lorie Loehr of Moorland; and two Manson students, Ethan Lenz, son of Rosie and the late Bruce Lenz and Brad Richardson, son of Curt and Teresa Richardson. NEW Cooperative Manager, Dan Dix says, “These students are the future of our agriculture industry and we are proud to support them in their college journey. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the future.”
