Year of the Cowboy
Scholarship

Members of the A.O.A. believe that our children
truly are the keepers of our way of life. Because of that we,
as a membership, are honoured to o ffer two $1000 scholarships each year. They are presented at the
Association's Annual Banquet and Dance each February,
|

The
scholarships are offered to any student in post-secondary education
that is a resident of Alberta and is pursuing a career in a field
that perpetuates the "western spirit". This would include careers in
veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, ranching, agricultural
business administration, forestry, fish & wildlife, etc.
The student
must send in an application with the pertinent information to the
Alberta Outfitters Association. The application should include high
school marks, letters of reference, etc.
|
The award is called "The
Year of the Cowboy Scholarship" and was started from funds donated
by Shell Canada, matched by the Alberta Outfitters Association. The
funds were made available after The Year of the Cowboy in Calgary
ended in 1998.

Students
applying for the scholarship may phone, fax, or e-mail the A.O.A.
office for more information.
