Current college students and high school seniors are eligible to apply, with a deadline of March 31st at 4pm Central. Details about the scholarship and the application are available on the Livestock Marketing Association website.

Ayers notes that students attending an auction school are not eligible for this scholarship, as a separate program supporting these students is currently under development.
