Texas Angus Association "Texas Challenge" Scholarships

As one facet of the ambitious fundraising campaign "The Texas Challenge" by Angus breeders in Texas raising $250,000 to match a generous $250,000 challenge gift by Klaus and Bonnie Birkel of Camp Cooley Ranch, Franklin, Texas, supporting education, youth and research, the Texas Angus Association "Texas Challenge" Scholarship Endowment Fund was initiated in 2007. Contributions to the Angus Foundation designated for this Fund will provide scholarships to Angus youth from Texas. Gifts continue to be made to this Fund by Angus breeders, allied industry interests and friends in Texas through "The Texas Challenge II," an exciting second phase with the Texas Angus Association and Angus Foundation now aspiring to achieve a new fundraising goal of $1 million. The Angus Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship Program application will be used to select the Texas Angus Association Scholarship recipient(s). Recipients may also receive other scholarships from the Angus Foundation or local, state, regional and national Angus-related entities.
