As part of our mission to promote the development of and education about cooperatives, the Arthur Capper Cooperative Center (ACCC) awards several types of cooperative scholarships to undergraduate students at Kansas State University. The ACCC began awarding scholarships in 1985. Since that time, $221,300 has been awarded to 167 students.
