CoBank is partnering with the American Indian College Fund (College Fund) to provide American Indian and Alaska Native students with scholarships. CoBank has granted $300,000 over the next three years, providing $100,000 per year for 20 student scholarships in the amount of $4,500. All Native students are eligible to apply for consideration, however preference will be given to those studying banking, finance and agriculture. Scholarship recipients who continue to meet program requirements can reapply for funding each year.
CoBank has contributed $50,000 to the Cooperative Family Fund. The fund assists children of active electric cooperative employees who have died – serving as a network of support for co-op families during an extremely difficult time. The Cooperative Family Fund was established in 2022, but has already experienced great success, receiving donations from hundreds of cooperatives, statewide and national organizations. “Our goal is to gift $10,000 into every child’s investment plan,” Anderson said. “So far, we have been able to do this for 29 kids since Thanksgiving, which is truly a great kick-off. CoBank’s generous contribution definitely helps us get prepared to continue to achieve our goal for future kids. We are so grateful and appreciative of all the support and donations the fund has received in the past eight months. It really is a grassroots and co-op family effort that continues to grow.”

CoBank Renews No Barriers Program for Rural Veterans with Disabilities in 2023 CoBank, a cooperative bank serving agribusinesses, rural infrastructure providers and Farm Credit associations throughout the United States, announced that it has renewed its No Barriers program for rural veterans with disabilities for 2023. The bank is once again inviting customers to nominate disabled veterans from rural communities to participate in the program. CoBank-sponsored No Barriers expeditions will take place in July, August and September. “A disproportionate number of men and women in the U.S. armed services come from rural communities,” said Thomas Halverson, president and chief executive officer of CoBank. “In recognition of their service, CoBank and our customers are again partnering with No Barriers to offer meaningful and life-changing experiences for veterans with disabilities. It is one way we can give back to those who have sacrificed for their country through military service.” CoBank partners with Colorado-based No Barriers to support the nonprofit’s Warriors program.
CoBank Releases 2023 Year Ahead Report – Forces That Will Shape the U.S. Rural Economy The U.S. economy still has considerable momentum and is not currently on the verge of recession. However, economists have never been more pessimistic and there are very legitimate reasons for concern. Over the past half century, inflation above 5% has never been tamed without incurring a recession. That portends a painful yet necessary chain of events will unfold in 2023, according to a comprehensive year-ahead outlook report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange.
