THSRA Scholarship

Texas High School Rodeo Association cares about its members and their futures. It is the main focus of our organization to increase the number and size of college scholarships to be awarded to our Seniors. For the past several years, the THSRA has given over $185,000 in scholarship money to deserving Seniors.

Scholarships awarded in the past have ranged from $10,000 to $250 and are based on several factors, which are explained in the scholarship application. Scholarship applications are judged by an outside group, not related to THSRA. If you are a Senior that is interested in applying for a scholarship make sure you print off the application (or request one from your secretary).
