    Member Benefits

    Gleaner Life Insurance Society provides both financial security and volunteer opportunities to members. Our competitive life insurance and annuity products help members to safeguard their dreams now and in the future.

    Much of what makes Gleaner what it is today was set in motion 130 years ago when Grant Slocum, a farmer's son, had a vision for a fraternal society that would protect farmers and their families.

    In addition to life insurance and annuity products, Gleaner members and their families enjoy a variety of member benefits, including shopping discounts, scholarship opportunities and family-friendly events.

Scholarship Opportunities

Since 1980, The Gleaner Life Insurance Society Scholarship Foundation has awarded more than $3 million in scholarships on a competitive basis to Gleaner members and their families.

A third party Independent panel of judges ranks all applications and selects the top-scoring students to receive a $2,500 one-time scholarship. See the full list of eligibility and application requirements below. 

Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipients! 

To apply for a Gleaner scholarship, students must:
