News, pierce county
ELLSWORTH - William Tuchtenhagen, Pierce Pepin Cooperative Service’s (PPCS) cooperative business intern, is the proud winner of the $10,000 Glenn English National Cooperative Leadership Scholarship through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
To be eligible for this prestigious scholarship, applicants must have attended the NRECA Youth Tour in Washington D.C. at least once. Tuchtenhagen attended the Youth Tour twice, once in the summer of 2018 and then again as a junior chaperone in the summer of 2019.
Tuchtenhagen decided to apply for the Glenn English scholarship because of his experience with co-ops, youth programs and interning. This leadership scholarship is very competitive, but Tuchtenhagen knew his strong resume would give him a chance to receive the scholarship, and he held out hope he could achieve his goal.
