The National Cattlemen’s Foundation is now accepting applications for the W.D. Farr Scholarships for the 2020-21 school year. Deadline for application submission is midnight central time on September 11, 2020.

Two $15,000 grants will be awarded to outstanding graduate students who demonstrate superior achievement in academics and leadership and are committed to beef industry advancement. The awards will allow the students to further their study in fields that benefit the industry.
The Farr scholarship was established by the National Cattlemen’s Foundation to honor the career of the late W.D. Farr. He was a third-generation Coloradan, pioneer rancher, statesman and banker who was known for his extraordinary vision. His dedication to improving agriculture, livestock and water development has resulted in significant changes in farming methods that have influenced the practices of ranchers and farmers throughout the nation.  
To apply for the scholarship, graduate students planning to pursue a career in the beef industry should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, description of applicant’s goals and experience, and statement of belief in the industry, as well as a review of the applicant’s graduate research and three letters of recommendation. All applications must be submitted online.
The scholarships will be presented at the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee, February 3-5, 2021. For more information and to apply visit www.nationalcattlemensfoundation.org.
