WAUPUN – CentralStar Cooperative’s Board of Directors is awarding $1,000 scholarships to six students pursuing agricultural degrees at colleges across the upper Midwest.
“These scholarships reflect CentralStar’s commitment to building the future of our industry,” said Communication Specialist Dori Lichty. “By investing in students who are passionate about agriculture, we’re helping ensure the long-term strength and sustainability of dairy and beef production.”
To be eligible, applicants had to be children of CentralStar member-stockowners and demonstrate active involvement in agriculture. As part of the application, students responded to five essay prompts addressing their contributions to the industry, community involvement, work experience, personal achievements, and future goals.
The winners include Lake Mills native Ashley Brandel.
Brandel is the daughter of Matthew and Tracy Brandel, Lake Mills, Wis. She attends the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Platteville, Wis., majoring in dairy science.
CentralStar Cooperative is honored to support these driven students as they pursue their education, contribute to the advancement of agriculture, and strengthen the rural communities they call home.
CentralStar’s mission of enhancing producer profitability through integrated solutions for mutual success is fulfilled by incorporating an array of products and services critical to dairy-and-beef-farm prosperity. CentralStar’s administration and warehouse facilities are located in Lansing, Mich., and Waupun, Wis., with laboratories in Grand Ledge, Mich., and Kaukauna, Wis. The cooperative serves dairy and beef producers throughout Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana, with additional DHI territory in various surrounding states.
