Touchstone Energy Cooperatives and Dakota News Now have joined together to recognize the achievements of high school seniors throughout the region. "Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week" has been celebrating the achievements of high school seniors since 2002.

Recipients are highly motivated high school seniors who excel in the classroom and community. This program was founded on the four pillars of Touchstone Energy: Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and a Commitment to Community.

Touchstone Energy® Cooperatives will choose an outstanding senior each week from an area high school that has been nominated by that school’s faculty. The senior selected will receive a $250 check from their local Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, will be featured on Dakota News Now and will also earn a chance to win one of two (2) $500 scholarships OR a $1000 scholarship at the end of the year during the Touchstone Energy® Scholar Banquet .

Nominate a student today! Nominations are accepted until December.
