“Choosing recipients from the 49 outstanding applications was not an easy task for our scholarship committee, but an inspirational one,” says Red River Communications CEO Tom Steinolfson. “Many dedicated and deserving students are looking to continue their education. Red River Communications is proud to help 12 students achieve their future career goals.”

The Red River College Scholarship Program applications were judged on academic performance, school activities, work experience, volunteerism, and community involvement. Students were required to write an essay discussing how Red River Communications’ services have impacted their lives. A recommendation letter from a community member or educator was also required.

About the Red River Communications Scholarship Program

The Red River Communications College Scholarship Program recognizes and encourages the student’s academic achievements within its service territory by helping defray the costs of furthering their education. Starting in December 2022, students could apply for one of twelve $1,000 scholarships directly with Red River Communications. To be eligible for the Scholarship Program, the student’s parent/legal guardian must be an active cooperative member or customer of Red River Communications. In addition, the scholarship recipient’s family must currently receive one of our core services: Broadband Internet, Ag Wireless Internet, Phone Service, or Television. Scholarships are available annually, with applications opening in November of the current school year.
