Students studying for a future in the beef industry have a shot at 10 scholarships of 15-hundred dollars – but the deadline for applications is fast approaching. Submissions for the CME National Cattlemen’s Foundation Scholarship must be postmarked or received via email or fax by December 14th. The applicants must demonstrate a commitment to a career in the beef industry through classes, internships or life experiences. John Lacey – National Cattlemen’s Foundation Board of Trustees Chairman – says the future of the beef industry is represented in the students who are studying to be a part of it. He says these scholarships support the work of students dedicating their education to keeping the industry viable.

Graduating high school seniors or full-time undergraduate students enrolled at two-year or four-year institutions for the 2013-14 school year are eligible for these scholarships. The applicants must be members of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.
