We offered fifty $1,500 scholarships in 2022 for children of our employees – and the wildly popular Land O’Lakes program is coming back in 2023

For Land O’Lakes employees working 30-or-more hours per week, it’s a little easier to pay for their family’s education thanks to our new Employee Dependent Scholarship program. Here’s how it works.

An inclusive scholarship offering:

Eligible Day 1: The scholarship is available to dependents/children of any Land O’Lakes employee who is US-based and works 30+ hours per week. There are no term requirements. You’re eligible for your dependent to apply, whether you’ve worked at Land O’Lakes for six years, six months, or six days. You must be working at Land O’Lakes when the application is submitted and when the scholarship is awarded.

Not just for those attending four-year schools: We know the future depends on leaders in all sorts of trades and industries. That’s why we’re offering this scholarship to all high school seniors or graduates, or current college undergraduates, who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school.

Biological, step-, adopted, and children of domestic partners are all eligible.

Looking back on 2022, looking forward to 2023:

“We were thrilled to see applications come in from across the country – we had recipients from 15 states. Knowing we can make a difference in our employees’ lives is so meaningful, and as a cooperative, this scholarship is one way we live our values to create a better world, together,” says Morgan Kinross-Wright, VP of Community Relations and Executive Director of the Land O’Lakes Foundation.

Given the positive and widespread response from our employees in 2022, we’re planning to bring the Employee Dependent Scholarship back in 2023. Applications will open in the spring of 2023. Maybe we’ll even see your child’s application there.
