Full Circle Ag Awards 2026 Careers in Agriculture Scholarships

We are proud to announce the recipients of our 2026 Careers in Agriculture scholarships!

For over 20 years, Full Circle Ag has been dedicated to supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders by awarding two scholarships to students pursuing careers in ag.

Eligible applicants can be graduating high school seniors or students currently enrolled in a 2- or 4-year college, who live within the Full Circle Ag trade territory, are patrons of the cooperative, and are majoring in an agriculture-related field. Each year, we award only two scholarships, making this recognition especially meaningful.

This year, we received an impressive number of applications from all over our trade territory, which made the selection process especially challenging for our scholarship committee. We were encouraged by the quality of the applicants and the strong passion for agriculture reflected in their submissions.

Ultimately, recipients were chosen based on their outstanding essays, their understanding of the cooperative business model, and the long-term goals they have set for themselves within the agriculture industry.


Corinne Bosse
Britton-Hecla High School | South Dakota State University
Corinne will be attending South Dakota State University this fall, majoring in Ag Business.

“I believe one of the biggest reasons cooperatives are so important to agriculture is that they are farmer‑owned. The more business a farmer does with a cooperative, the larger their shares become, meaning they truly own a piece of the organization. Cooperatives are essential to the future of agriculture and to the future of families like mine.”

We are confident that Corinne will make a positive impact on the future of agriculture within our community.


Bryce Heitkamp
Britton-Hecla High School | Lake Area Technical College
Bryce will be attending Lake Area Technical College this fall, double-majoring in Ag Business and Precision Ag.

“Cooperatives are important because they are owned by the people who use them. Decisions are made by farmers for farmers, and the co-op profits stay local. Our local co-op also provides jobs for many people within our community. Cooperatives help keep farms and communities strong.”

Bryce’s passion for agriculture makes him a strong voice for the future of the industry.

Please join us in congratulating both Corinne and Bryce on their scholarships. We are proud to support young leaders like them who are committed to agriculture and who understand the importance of working together for the future of the farming industry.
