The recipients were chosen from a large group of applicants based upon a combination of academic record, activities and awards, financial need, and an essay relating to how they might “Insure a Brighter Tomorrow” in South Dakota. “We had an incredibly strong group of applicants for the first year of this program,” commented Wayne Bartscher, Regional Manager of Farmers Union Insurance. "The strengths of these applicants reaffirmed my confidence in tomorrow’s leaders.”
Farmers Union Insurance agents throughout the state fund this scholarship program administered by the Farmers Union Foundation. “This is an exciting way to further our investment in developing our youth,” stated Julie Bartling, Executive Director of the Foundation, “I am proud of the insurance agents’ commitment to make this program a reality. It is proof that great things can happen when we all work together.”
Congratulations to these twenty-five outstanding scholarship recipients!
