Central is proud to announce that Abbi Avers, a senior at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been awarded a Glenn English National Cooperative Leadership Foundation Scholarship.

This prestigious scholarship is presented each year to students across the nation who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership and commitment to the cooperative principles.

Avers, Carney High School graduate, was selected as one of Central’s 2021 Youth Tour delegates. Youth Tour is an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., where students from across Oklahoma explore our nation’s capital. During the pandemic, Youth Tour was canceled and winners received a scholarship.

“Receiving the Glenn English Scholarship is a huge honor,” Avers said. “Being awarded this scholarship proves that dedication to community and leadership is recognized and celebrated.”

Central’s 2026 Youth Tour contest is currently open to high school juniors within Central’s service area. Applications are due on Friday, December 19. Learn more or apply here.
