Every year, POET seeks out thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who don’t wait for change — they create it.
From now until February 13, students across the country are invited to apply for POET’s Never Satisfied Scholarship Program. The scholarships are designed for those who refuse to settle for “good enough” and who share POET’s passion for creating a brighter future.
Since its launch in 2017, the Never Satisfied program has recognized and supported college students who push beyond the status quo. These are individuals whose drive, curiosity, and ambition set them apart; young leaders who see challenges as opportunities and who take ownership of making positive change in their communities and industries.
“We meet so many students who clearly have that spark — the ones who are always looking for a better way, a smarter solution, or a new idea worth pursuing,” said Camryn Reid, POET Communications Specialist. “The Never Satisfied Scholarship is about fueling that spark and giving students the encouragement and resources they need to keep moving forward.”

This year, POET will award a total of $75,000 in academic scholarships through the program. Incoming freshmen through graduate students enrolled for the fall 2026 semester at accredited two- or four-year schools are eligible to apply. Students at four-year universities may receive $5,000 awards, while those attending two-year or technical colleges may receive $2,500 scholarships.
The program is open to students pursuing degrees or minors in Agriculture, Finance, Accounting, Communications, Engineering, Computer Science, Human Resources, or related fields. Unlike many scholarships, GPA is not a determining factor; POET is far more interested in passion and potential.
One of the program’s defining features is its connection to the POET team. In addition to financial support, selected Never Satisfied Scholars are invited to exclusive networking and mentorship opportunities with POET professionals. These sessions are designed to provide real-world insights, career guidance, and a firsthand look at how a purpose-driven company approaches innovation and growth.
“Every year, we’re inspired by the stories our applicants share and the work they’re already doing to make their mark on the world,” said Reid. “If you know someone who never stops pushing for better, someone who is determined to make a difference, encourage them to apply. This program was built for them.”
Applications are open now through February 13, 2026. To learn more or to apply, visit poet.com/neversatisfied.
