Collegiate Scholarship

GCWA is pleased to present scholarships to graduating high school seniors and current collegiate students pursuing degrees in Agriculture. The scholarship can be used at a college, university, or technical/vocational school. Our well-rounded students share their school and community related activities. They also include honors and awards ranging from their school level all the way to national competitions. Applicants describe their career plans and their specific academic interests that will allow them to meet their professional goals. Finally, we ask students what they believe the two most important issues facing the cattle industry today. Whether the applicants were raised on farms or they began their agricultural education in high school, we are proud to financially support future industry leaders. Applications are due by March 1st.
