Beef scholarship applications due May 9

There are just a few days left to apply for one of two $12,000 scholarships through the National Cattlemen’s Foundation.

Applications are due May 9, 2014, for the W.D. Farr Scholarship program. Awards are open to students pursuing graduate degrees in animal science, environmental science or agriculture. 

The National Cattlemen’s Foundation continues to honor the successful career of the late W.D. Farr of Greeley, Colo., a third-generation Coloradoan, pioneer rancher, statesman and banker known for his extraordinary vision. Farr was president of the National Cattlemen’s Association – a predecessor organization of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association – in 1970.

Full criteria can be found online at http://www.nationalcattlemensfoundation.org/wdfarrscholarship.aspx or by calling 303-694-0305.

Scholarship winners will be introduced at the 2014 Cattle Industry Summer Conference in Denver later this year.
