TRI-STATE HIGH SCHOOL

RODEO ASSOCIATION

Our Purpose:  "To promote the highest conduct and sportsmanship at all rodeos."

SCHOLARSHIP PAGE

I encourage every senior who plans on attending college to apply for as many scholarships as possible.  Even if you don't want to rodeo at the college level, there are still plenty of scholarships available.  Don't limit yourself to a specific field.  General scholarships can pay the bills too. 

 

The majority of your applications are going to ask for the same information.  Once you get the first one completed, it is just a matter of filling in the blanks and answering the questions specific to each application.  You have to decide if it is worth the effort now to make it a little easier for you later.

 

Once you decide on your college, get in touch with the financial aid office and apply for grants.  They don't have to be repaid!
