2020 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.  This year, $116,750 has been distributed to the following 22 students who were selected as the 2020 Reno Rodeo Foundation Scholarship students.

Two students were awarded the Al Evans Scholarship in memory of Al Evans to advance the study of Veterinary Science.

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. The 2021 application will be posted on October 1, 2021.
