Purina Mills and the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association Young Cattlemen’s Leadership Committee have announced there will be two Purina Mills $1,000 scholarships and two YCLC $500 scholarships presented during the 2022 Joint Stockmen’s Convention.
“Enabling agricultural students to obtain education they may not otherwise have access to keeps our industry strong,” said Bronson Corn, president-elect of NMCGA. “We appreciate the coordinated effort between Purina Mills and our Allied Industries Committee in making these funds available to deserving students.”
The two $1,000 Purina Mills scholarships will be awarded to a New Mexico student who is a member of the NMCGA, the New Mexico Junior Cattle Growers Association or the child of an NMCGA member.
Graduating high school seniors, college freshmen, sophomores and juniors in good academic standing are eligible to apply for the award. The Young Cattlemen’s Leadership Committee and the Allied Industries Committee will also be presenting two $500 scholarships — one to a high school senior and one to a continuing college student.
The four scholarships will be presented to the top applicants during the Joint Stockmen’s Convention slated for Dec. 14-17 at Hotel Albuquerque Old Town in Albuquerque. All applications must be submitted by Nov. 22.
