The American Angus Association’s Certified Angus Beef Colvin Scholarship Fund will award six scholarships in 2012 totaling 20-thousand dollars. The funds will be split among five undergraduate scholarships with a top award of 5-thousand dollars.  College juniors and seniors who have shown commitment to the beef industry, either through coursework or activities, are encouraged to apply by the December 2, 2011 deadline. Applications are evaluated on involvement, scholastic achievement, communication skills and reference letters.

Also, one 5-thousand dollar graduate-level scholarship will also be awarded. This new scholarship will be awarded to a full-time master’s or doctorate student conducting research related to high-quality beef production. Applications for that award are due January 13, 2012.
