CHS Larsen Cooperative is offering up to $20,000 in scholarships. This is the 17th year the co-op has offered a scholarship program for its customers, already helping more than 200 students. CHS Larsen Cooperative’s trade territory has expanded, and officials say they want to return support to the communities that help support their cooperative.
