Scholarship Fund

The Texas National Stock Show Scholarship Fund was created to provide scholarships used for further education for our youth after high school. Scholarship certificates will be awarded and paid to the school of the Exhibitor's choice after they graduate high school. The scholarship may be used at any college, university, or trade school in the United States of America.
We would greatly appreciate your support by making a contribution to the Scholarship Fund.

How to claim your Texas National Scholarship Award

Scholarship Awards are paid out directly to the recipient’s college, university, or trade school either in one payment or in installments depending on how much the total amount the awardee has won. The recipient should provide the following document scans by email to:

info@texasnationalstockshow.com

1. A copy of your acceptance letter to your learning institution.

2. The address and information from your learning institution where to send the payment.

3. Student ID number.

4. A photocopy of all your scholarship awards.

5. Your class schedule for the first semester. After the first semester if you have more award payments coming, present every class schedule before the semi-annual cut off deadlines.

Semi-annual cutoff deadlines:

August 1st and December 20th

If you submit your information after the cut off deadline you will not be eligible for awards payments until the next period.

Also please note as per the TNSS rules as stated in Rule #7:

An Exhibitor may only receive Scholarship awards on their highest placing Breeding Gilt and their highest placing Market Barrow each year. Scholarships may be awarded to Exhibitors that have received scholarships in previous years. The same Exhibitor may be awarded scholarships for their highest placing Breeding Gilt and highest placing Market Barrow in the same year.

Scholarship Awards received from the Prospect Shows or other events other than the Breeding Gilt Show and the Market Barrow Show maybe stacked without regard for when the exhibitor won them.
