Investing in the Future of Education

American Crystal Sugar Company helps prepare the next generation of researchers, scientists, farmers, agronomists, and employees through scholarships and partnerships with high schools, tech schools, and institutions of higher education.

 

Scholarships for High School Graduates
Our scholarship program began as one of several community-focused initiatives. Since that time, the company has funded more than 100 scholarship awards each year to deserving high school graduates in the Red River Valley.

And, through partnerships with technical and vocational institutions, we’re introducing students to positions in our factories with our full scholarship and training program that prepares them for rewarding careers with us. Learn more about these opportunities with Minnesota North College-Mesabi Range, Bismarck State College, and North Dakota State College of Science.
