Sioux Empire Livestock Show Scholarships Awarded

The Sioux Empire Livestock Show Exhibitor Scholarships are given to students who are enrolled in a two- or four-year program for the next academic year, with plans to study in an agriculture-related field. To be eligible for the scholarship, students must have participated in the Chamber’s Sioux Empire Livestock Show as an exhibitor in either cattle, market lamb, market goat or market hog livestock shows.

A committee of volunteers from the Chamber’s Agribusiness Division reviews applications and selects the scholarship recipients.
