We firmly believe in the importance of giving back to our local communities, where we as a cooperative live and work. We have a strong commitment to the agricultural industry and strive to give back and educate our future leaders.
Participation in FFA provides students the building blocks for a strong future. Supporting the Ohio FFA Foundation allows Sunrise Cooperative to be actively invested in our future leaders, and together, we are growing success.
Sunrise supports the annual Ohio FFA Convention with a booth, by providing judges for the proficiency interviews, and sponsorship of the annual awards luncheon on the opening day of the convention.
We consider it a privilege to give back to our local youth and encourage them to pursue a future in agriculture.
Sunrise also offers 50 scholarships, of $1,000 each, to children and grandchildren of active common stockholders (40) and full-time employees (10).
Degrees are not limited to agriculture and previous winners may apply each year they are eligible. Scholarships are open to students enrolled/enrolling in a two or four year accredited college program. The selection process occurs in March and winners are announced by the end of April.
