Round-Up Commercial Cattlemen's Scholarship

Eligibility

Round-Up Commercial Cattlemen's Scholarship, with an application deadline in May, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

This scholarship is available to facilitate the involvement of youth interested in commercial beef production. A private fund has been established to provide one, fully paid sponsorship for a young Red Angus enthusiast to attend Round-Up. This award will provide full registration expense to Round-Up as well as travel to Round-Up for the recipient. The founders of this award have two primary areas of intent: provide means for a young person with financial limitations to attend Round-Up and encourage involvement of commercial operation-based young people with Round-Up and Red Angus junior programs. This funding for this scholarship is not intended for juniors already members of the JRA but for a young person with interest in Red Angus and the beef industry from a commercial background and one who would not be able to attend Round-Up due to expense. We are looking for young people who are motivated by the cattle industry and may benefit from attending Round-Up. Potential nominees may include children or grandchildren of your customers and bull buyers, farm- or ranch-oriented youth who don't participate in JRA because they do not have registered cattle, young people who are buying bulls, or perhaps heifers, for use in a crossbreeding program. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
