Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo officials presented 70 students from 4-H programs across Texas with $1.4 million in educational funding on June 9 during the annual 4-H Roundup in College Station, Texas.
“The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is very proud to award these 70 4-H students with scholarships that will help them take the next step in furthering their education,” said Rodeo President and CEO Chris Boleman. “The Rodeo and the Texas 4-H program work hand-in-hand in promoting agriculture and supporting Texas youth and education, and it’s thanks to our generous donors that we can continue to give back to these deserving students.”
These 4-H scholars represent 53 different counties across the state and will attend 18 different colleges and universities in Texas. The top four schools these students will be attending are Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University, Tarleton State University and West Texas A&M University. These students have chosen 35 different fields of study, with the top five chosen majors being animal science, agricultural economics, agricultural business, agricultural communications and mechanical engineering.
Each of the 4-H scholarship recipients will receive $20,000 toward a four-year undergraduate degree for a total commitment of $1.4 million. These students were selected by 4-H officials based on the students’ involvement with the program, academic achievements and financial need.
These 70 scholarships represent a portion of the Rodeo’s annual educational commitment of more than $22 million in support of Texas youth and education. Additional information about the Rodeo’s continued educational commitment can be found at rodeohouston.com.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo promotes agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western heritage and provides year-round educational support within the community. Since its beginning in 1932, the Rodeo has committed more than $550 million to the youth of Texas and education. The 2023 Rodeo is scheduled for Feb. 28 – March 19. The 2023 World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, presented by Cotton Holdings, is scheduled for Feb. 23 – 25.
