JEFFERSON, Ohio — Ohio State Extension and the Ashtabula County Cattlemen’s Association will be awarding two youth beef scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year.
One $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a 2017 high school senior who will be attending an accredited four-year college or two-year technical institute in 2017-2018. In addition, one $500 scholarship will be awarded to a current college student attending an accredited four-year college or two-year technical institute.
Eligibility
Applicants must be a resident of Ashtabula County. First preference will be given to students who have been involved in the beef industry as a youth.
