GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN (March 2, 2026) — Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative will once again offer $10,000 in secondary education scholarships to its membership, the cooperative announced today. Edge is proud to award the children of its members who exemplify the voice of milk through their education, career aspirations, and future goals. Applications are now being accepted and will remain open until April 17.

Two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to current students pursuing a degree in a four — or two-year program, and three $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to high-school seniors.

Applicants must be high-school seniors, graduates, or college undergraduates. They must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time course of study at an accredited four-year college or university or a two-year program at a technical, junior, or community college. The area of study does not need to be agriculture-related, but applicants must be dependents of an Edge member.

“At Edge, our goal is to deliver the highest value to our members, and our scholarship program is an impactful way for us to contribute by investing in the future leaders of tomorrow,” said Tim Trotter, Edge CEO.

“We are excited to support and empower the youth who contribute to the growth of our communities.”

Scholarship recipients will be selected based on academic achievement, leadership, participation in school and community activities, academic honors, goals and aspirations, recommendations, and work experience.

Application details: The full application and guidelines can be found on the Edge website: edgedairy.com. The application portal will remain open until April 17, and applications must be submitted by that date.
