Each year, NuWay-K&H Cooperative gives $500 scholarships to students in southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. These scholarships are open to all patrons, customers, employees and directors of NuWay-K&H Cooperative and their children. The scholarships are awarded yearly on the basis of an applicant’s academic achievement, leadership and extracurricular involvement, and financial need. This year, we chose 25 recipients from 12 area schools. The 2025 scholarship recipients were announced at the end of April.
