-Sandhills Cattle Association
The Sandhills Cattle Association is proud to support the future of agriculture and the beef industry. That’s why we are excited to announce the 2021 scholarship applications are now open. We have a total of $9,000 up for grabs this year.
For 30 years, the Sandhills Cattle Association has awarded scholarships to the youth of the association members. In that time, 479 applications have been reviewed and reduced to 119 scholarship recipients, who have been awarded $102,750 just from the Sandhills Cattle Association alone. Funds for this program are raised through the annual benefit auction held at every convention. In September of 2020, we brought in nearly $6,700 just from the scholarship auction alone, thanks to many vendors’ generous donations throughout the Sandhills region.
