Susan Cunningham was a dear friend and a cherished member of the Crop West Insurance Group who led an admirable career in the crop insurance industry and received the Outstanding Service Award from National Crop Insurance Services.
Susan was educated at Montana State University and was an active alumnus and longtime supporter of the university. She went on to serve on the board of the Montana Grain Growers Association and selflessly volunteered her time to help growers better understand crop insurance. Susan sadly passed away unexpectedly, but her memory lives on.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Susan Cunningham by supporting students who are passionate about pursuing higher education.
