Alberta Outfitters Association

The Alberta Outfitters Association Scholarship
The A.O.A. is proud to offer two $1000 scholarships annually. 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 (link below) with the pertinent information to the Alberta Outfitters Association. The application should include high school marks, letters of reference, etc. as outlined in the application.

The award is called "The Year of the Cowboy Scholarship" and was started with funds originally 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.
