JUNIOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATIONAL AND TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS

This time of year, we hear a lot about college scholarships. But in the Junior Red Angus Association, you don’t have to wait until you graduate to be rewarded. Take advantage of the following scholarship opportunities to get involved and develop the skills you need to excel!

Beef Industry Education Scholarship

This scholarship provides financial support for members to participate in industry activities or events that will help toward the member’s success in the industry. Applications for this scholarship are accepted each quarter for review and can reach up to $200 toward the event. Scholarship recipients are required to promote the Red Angus breed, when appropriate, and submit an article for publication that includes several pictures and quotes that review the experience within 15 days following the event.

Heather Presser Memorial Scholarship

There are a few travel scholarships open to all juniors who wish to travel for national events. The Heather Presser Memorial Scholarship, worth $500, is offered to assist with the cost of the Young Stockman Program and JRA Round-Up. This scholarship is in loving memory of

Troy and Annette Presser’s daughter, Heather, who was tragically taken from her family in an ATV accident in 2012. This scholarship allows Heather’s memory to live on in the Red Angus industry. Any member wishing to apply for this scholarship must complete and submit the application by the respective event’s registration deadline.

JRA ROUND-UP SCHOLARSHIPS

The association has two $200 scholarships for any JRA member to apply toward their JRA Round-Up participation. Completed applications are due May 1.

Commercial Cattleman Roundup Scholarship

The Commercial Cattleman’s scholarship is intended to support a junior-aged commercial cattleman to participate in JRA Round-Up. Any RAAA or JRA member may nominate a candidate by contacting Junior Coordinator Kim Heller. The nominations are requested by April 1 so that the individual nominated has time to complete the application by May 1. The individual selected for this scholarship is rewarded funds to cover their JRA RoundUp registration and travel expense.
