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.
If you would like to apply for the Scholarship, please don't hesitate to email or phone us if you have any additional questions.
