We’re excited to announce the recipients of our 2025–2026 academic year scholarships, awarding ten $1,000 scholarships to deserving students as part of our ongoing commitment to invest in the future of rural communities through education.

Our scholarship program is a valuable benefit available to members, designed to support their families as they pursue higher education. Children or grandchildren of member-borrowers can apply if they are attending an accredited college, university, or technical/vocational institution in the United States, working toward a certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree.

“We believe that investing in the next generation is vital to the strength and sustainability of our rural communities,” said Amber Pratt, Vice President of Marketing & Communications. “Through this program, we’re proud to help support the educational goals of our members’ families.”

We are proud to celebrate this year’s scholarship recipients and honored to support them on their educational journey.

Beyond our member scholarship program, we also proudly fund scholarships at Auburn University’s College of Agriculture and Tuskegee University’s College of Agriculture, Environment and Nutrition Sciences, reinforcing our commitment to agricultural education across the state.
