Scholar of the Week
South Dakota's Touchstone Energy Cooperatives and KSFY Television have joined together to recognize the achievements of high school seniors throughout the region since 2002. Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week 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 which are integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community.
School principals and faculty from across the state nominate students for the Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week program. KSFY-TV selects a student each week to be featured during one of its newscasts. The student who is selected to be the Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week that week also receives $100 from their local Touchstone Energy Cooperative. In addition to being honored as a Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week, the scholar is then eligible for the $1,000 Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Year which is presented in April.
