BHSS Foundation Scholarships

Among the objectives for the formation of the Black Hills Stock Show Foundation in 1993, was the implementation of an annual scholarship program.

As part of its efforts to make a tangible return to people in the region who support Stock Show events through participation and attendance, the Foundation's mission of Preserving The Legacy & Investing In The Future is evident in the scholarship programs that recognize students in a five-state region.

The Foundation receives and reviews annual application requests and submissions from students in South and North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska who are pursuing higher education in ag-related career fields.

Applications

For Scholarship Application Information, contact the Black Hills Stock Show Foundation at 605-718-0810 or by Email foundation@BHSSF.com.
