Junior Holstein opens applications for two scholarships

Published:

Junior Holstein members are encouraged to apply for the 2024 National Judi Collinsworth Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is designed to support the academic and career aspirations of Junior Holstein members.

Two scholarships will be awarded, including one top $1,000 scholarship and a second $500 scholarship. National Junior Holstein members enrolled in a 2- or 4-year college or university who have exhibited their animal at a National Junior Holstein Show during the current show season are eligible to apply.

“This is an especially meaningful scholarship because of its dedication to Judi Collinsworth and the way it connects my involvement in showing Holsteins to my education in the industry,” says 2023 Judi Collinsworth Memorial Scholarship recipient Brianna Meyer. “As I proceed through college, I will continue building upon the skills I’ve learned working with Holsteins and am grateful for the support from Holstein Association and this scholarship program.”

The selection committee considers leadership, participation in Holstein activities, and involvement in school, community, and agricultural organizations. National Junior Holstein members enrolled in college who have competed in any of the National Junior Holstein shows throughout the 2024 show season are invited to submit applications.
