The Ohio Cattlemen’s Foundation is offering several college scholarships for students involved in the beef industry. These scholarships are administered through OCF in conjunction with the following organizations and individuals.

Tagged for Greatness scholarships. Four $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to college students enrolled in an agricultural program, or graduating high school seniors who plan to study agriculture at a college or university. These scholarships are made possible by the sale of Ohio’s beef specialty license plates.

Cattlemen’s Country Club scholarships. Four $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to college students enrolled in a two-year or four-year program, or graduating high school seniors who plan to attend a college or university majoring in an agricultural or nonagricultural program. These scholarships are made possible by proceeds from the beef Putt-Putt miniature golf course at the Ohio State Fair.

Saltwell Expo scholarship. One $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a college student who is enrolled in an agricultural program, or a graduating high school senior who plans to study agriculture at a college or university. This scholarship is sponsored by Saltwell Western Store, owned by Jay and Sally Puzacke; and the Ohio Beef Expo. The scholarship is funded by a percentage of sales from the official line of expo clothing sold through Saltwell’s trade show booth at the Ohio Beef Expo.

Noah Cox Memorial scholarship. One $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a college student who is enrolled in a two-year or four-year program, or a graduating high school senior who plan to attend a college or university majoring in an agricultural or nonagricultural program. This scholarship was created in honor of Noah Cox, who passed away in May 2017.
