The Cleveland Livestock Show Scholarship is open to a Senior graduating from a Liberty County school eligible to participate in the Cleveland Livestock Show. These schools include: Cleveland, Tarkington, Liberty, Hardin, Hull-Daisetta or Heritage Christian Academy. The candidate must enroll in a two-year or a four-year college or university. The candidate must enroll as a full time student (minimum of 12 hours per semester).

The Cleveland Livestock Show will provide a minimum of one scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00 to an outstanding student who has participated in the Cleveland Livestock Show. The candidate MUST submit:

1) A copy of his/her SAT or ACT score

2) A high school transcript with his/her present rank in class

3) A completed typewritten application for scholarship. No handwritten application will be judged.

(See “Entry Forms” on website for Application Form)

Any candidate who does not submit all of these requirements will be disqualified.

Selection will be based on participation in the Cleveland Livestock Show, scholarship, leadership, citizenship, need and a personal interview.

The scholarship funds will be sent to the college or university that the student will attend after proof of registration and the ADDRESS of the Financial Aid Office has been submitted to the Scholarship Committee. Funds will be sent to the college where the recipient is enrolled for 12 or more semester hours and is in good standing academically at a rate of one-half of the full scholarship per semester. In order for the scholarship check to be released, the following steps must be followed:

3) Make sure the committee has the ADDRESS for the school’s Financial Aid Office.

The winner will be announced at the Buyers Dinner of the Cleveland Livestock Show on the Monday night of the week of the Show.
