Compeer Financial

The 1st Farm Credit Services Scholarship was established in 2014 by 1st Farm Credit Services, the largest agricultural lender in Illinois. In July 2017, 1st Farm Credit Services joined two other Farm Credit Cooperatives in forming Compeer Financial. 1st Farm Credit Services, now Compeer Financial, serves farmers and those who invest in rural America, who live and work in rural counties in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, with all of their agricultural credit and financial needs. Compeer Financial is proud to provide scholarship support for students at SIU who reflect their employee base and/or client base.
