Hilmar Cheese Co. said 55 students demonstrating community involvement and academic performance will each receive a scholarship toward their higher education through the company’s annual scholarship program. This program helps fulfill Hilmar Cheese Co.’s purpose to improve lives.
The scholarship program has four categories: children of employees of Hilmar Cheese Co., Hilmar Cheese Co. Visitor Center part-time staff, children of the dairy farm families who ship milk to Hilmar Cheese Co. and students with an agricultural major living in the counties where the company is located. This last category is for students not affiliated with the company, the Hilmar, Calif.-based company said, but dedicated to the agricultural industry and living in Merced or Stanislaus counties in California or Dallam or Hartley counties in Texas.
