Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
Overview
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarship application is submitted entirely online. Applicants will upload required supporting documents while filling out the application. After the applicant completes their portion, a designated school official or counselor must finish a separate portion of the application through the same online system.
How to apply
- Begin the application online and attach all supplemental documents at the time of submission.
- Once your section is complete, notify your school official or counselor so they can complete the school portion online.
- Because the online application deadline occurs after normal business hours, support may be limited at that time. Submitting well before the deadline is strongly recommended.
