The Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation (NCF) announced the allocation of over $59,000 in scholarships aimed at supporting the next generation of the agriculture industry in their academic pursuits. These scholarships were bestowed upon 55 students.
“Each year, generous donors from across the state donate to the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation’s Retail Value Steer Challenge fundraising project,” said Loren Berger, President of the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation. “Because of our donor’s support this year we will be awarding fifty-five exceptional students with academic scholarships. The investment in these students helps prepare the future leaders of the beef cattle industry.”
All scholarship recipients will be recognized at the Nebraska Cattlemen Midyear Meeting in Ogallala on Thursday, June 13, during the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation Lunch.
