2022 Reno Rodeo Foundation
Scholarship Program
One of the community pillars of the Reno Rodeo Foundation is supporting Northern Nevada high school graduates through educational scholarship. The scholarship program began in 1986 with the award of four students receiving $1,500 each. Today, over one million dollars has been allocated to hundreds of young adults throughout 14 Northern Nevada counties.
In addition to the Reno Rodeo Foundation scholarship we also have a Western Arts & Culture Scholarship and we encourage students to apply. The Western Arts & Culture Scholarship offers an exciting opportunity for all Northern Nevada high-school graduates, even those who are enrolled in college, to share their interpretation of our western heritage through their creative expression that may include written material, musical delivery, dance, or visual art such as video, photography or painting. For more information about the available scholarships, including eligibility requirements, please visit our Scholarship Page.
