Scholarships
Agriculture drives our nation and has a profound impact on youth, deeply ingraining hard work and developing life skills. In 1987, the Association began a scholarship program to benefit the youth of Texas and supporting higher education. The scholarships awarded have assisted the educational pursuit of hundreds of high school students. Through the San Angelo Stock Show, scholarships are awarded based on work inside and outside the classroom identifying well-rounded and driven individuals. Students receiving scholarships participate as members of 4-H and FFA programs, demonstrating the Association's anchored belief in these important youth programs. The Premium Sale provides 30 annual scholarships to these students who will attend an accredited Texas university, college, or technical school.
Endowments and individual or corporate gifts to the Foundation, which are tax deductible are welcome. The proven generosity of West Texas friends and businesses will help the Foundation grow to a multimillion dollar educational program for young people and serve as an avenue for charitable and memorial giving to the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Association.
