South Dakota High School Rodeo
Association/Black Hills Stock Show Foundation
Rodeo Scholarships
Beginning in 1999, the Foundation
expanded its annual scholarship program to include the selection of
outstanding High School Rodeo athletes who will continue their education
through university, college and/or technical institute studies, and who are
committed to careers in ag-related fields.
SDHSRA
When the Black Hills Stock Show
Foundation decided to expand its scholarship program that recognizes young
adults pursuing higher education in ag-related fields of study, it made
perfect sense to team up with another organization that provides a learning
arena for youth; the
South
Dakota High School Rodeo Association.
Among the first state organizations to
form in 1949, it would go on to become a charter member of the National High
School Rodeo Association, helping to start the organization in 1951. South
Dakota is one of the states to compete at the first National High School
Rodeo Finals.
It has been a leader in the
development of the national high school rodeo program and continues to
produce leaders on the state and national level. From its ranks come young
athletes who regardless of their place in winnings, are encouraged to learn
and apply skills that are cornerstones to personal, academic and career
development.
20X Extreme Showcase
Beginning in 2003, the Foundation
teamed up with again with the SDHSRA and together with Wrangler co-sponsors
scholarships awarded to top contestants from the South Dakota High School
Regional 20X Extreme Showcase, the first in a televised series of featured
high school rodeos around the country. Produced by Sutton Rodeo, the new
event premiered at the 2003 Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo.
The scholarships are awarded annually. ~ SDHSR Scholarship Winners ~
