SCHOLARSHIPS
March 22, 2024

At Pembina Co-op, we support and encourage the training and development of our youth.

In 2007, Pembina Co-op's Board of Directors established a policy in order to provide high schools students within the Pembina trading area to have an opportunity for financial assistance when pursuing a career in Trades, such as plumbing, electrical and carpentry.

In 2020, this policy was revised to also include for careers in Business, such as Management, Accounting, Financial Services, Human Resources or Marketing, and for careers in Agriculture, such as Ag Diploma, Ag Degree or AgriBusiness.

AMOUNT OF SCHOLARSHIP

Pembina Co-op will sponsor one Trades scholarship, one Business scholarship and one Agriculture scholarship to the high-schools located in communities served by Pembina Co-op. The amount of each scholarship will be reviewed on an annual basis, and pre-determined by April of each year.

For the graduating class of 2024 — each scholarship will be valued at $1000.
