UNDERDOG Scholarship Award

Team Buche Cares and the Buche Foods are proud to offer this scholarship to area students.

We all know someone who had obstacles in their lives. These have either made  them stronger or made them weaker. Some people rise above and evolve from an “UNDERDOG” to a “SUPER HERO.” I personally find it difficult to watch a young person have to struggle with obstacles that just don’t seem fair. I know we all have some difficulties in our lives but it seems that some kids are thrown MORE obstacles than others.

In May, each of the Buche Foods stores, located in Gregory, Mission, Pine Ridge, Oacoma, Sisseton and Wagner, awards scholarships to high school seniors from their community or the surrounding communities that has overcome some seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their life and are going to attend either College, University or a Technical/Trade School. To date, Buche Foods has given away over $483,100.00 in scholarship money to area students.

It’s very easy for people to register someone they know or themselves for the Buche Foods UNDERDOG Scholarships. The Scholarships are not your usual awards. It does not award the highest academic, most improved, best attendance, but it recognizes the accomplishments of the student who struggled to graduate. It recognizes the strength and perseverance they displayed by overcoming obstacles in their personal life.

The Buche Foods Underdog Scholarship program is here to help our youth with their dreams!

Team Buche Cares’ focus remains on communities and families in rural South Dakota. Requests for funding will be presented to the Team Buche Cares Board of Directors. Unfortunately, not all requests will be granted. Successful applicants will be contacted directly by the Team Buche Cares.

Scholarships are being offered from each Buche Foods Store.
