Rockbridge County Livestock Scholarship
The Rockbridge County Livestock Advisory Council understands the value, and takes pride in our rural, close-knit community. As well, we understand the value of education for the young folks in our club. In order to maintain and build upon these qualities, the Livestock Advisory Council has introduced a monetary scholarship available to college-age youth who have participated in our club. Our mission is to provide financial support to one of our own who demonstrates the determination and self-wealth to better themselves through education.
This scholarship will be awarded annually, in the fall, to a college or university student in the amount of $1,000.
If you would like more information or would like to donate to the scholarship, or the club, please contact Helen Leslie at 540.463.4734.
