Rewarding the Next Generation

The Oklahoma Youth Expo and livestock shows as a whole serve as the perfect venue for raising the next generation of leaders. From the time spent in the barns learning the value of hard work and dedication, to the time in the showring learning the value of competition. Here at OYE, we believe it is our responsibility to not only reward these young leaders, but also encourage them to further their education goals.

Each year, thanks to our generous partners, the Oklahoma Youth Expo awards nearly $300,000 in scholarships.

“These young professionals are the future of our industry, our state and our nation” said OYE Executive Vice President, Kass Newell. “Their discipline is second to none, and due to their work ethic and determination, these are students that future employers clamor to find and hire.”

Scholarships are awarded based on academic success, community involvement and leadership. All recipients are required to have previously competed at OYE, and all scholarships can only be redeemed at an Oklahoma Higher Education Institution.
