Golden Plains Insurance in Lamar has announced it will again offer a $2,000 educational scholarship for the 2025–26 academic year to support a graduating high school senior from the Class of 2026 pursuing postsecondary education. 

The scholarship is open to students planning to attend college full time during the 2026–27 academic year and enroll in an accredited degree program. While financial need is not a requirement, the company said preference will lean toward students interested in developing careers related to agriculture, though applicants from other academic or vocational fields are also eligible.

Recipients will be selected by Golden Plains Insurance based on the completed application and required materials.

Applications are available at Golden Plains Insurance offices in Lamar, Springfield, Rocky Ford, and Walsh, as well as online at the company’s website. Completed applications may be submitted by email, mailed to the Lamar office, or delivered in person at any of the company’s offices during regular business hours.

The application deadline is Friday, April 17, 2026.

Golden Plains Insurance operates as an independent insurance agency with four offices across southeast Colorado, offering a range of insurance products through multiple underwriters.
