Troy and Annette Presser, Presser Red Angus, Turtle Lake, N.D., have established the Heather Presser Memorial Scholarships in loving memory of their daughter, Heather. Heather was taken from her family in an ATV accident in 2012.
The scholarships will assist JRA members’ participation in national Junior Red Angus Association (JRA) leadership events throughout the year. Selected JRA members may use the scholarships to defray registration and travel expenses to major JRA leadership events – SPARK, Young Stockman Program and Round-Up. Scholarship application is open to any JRA member.
JRA members must complete and submit the application by the registration deadline for the respective event. The application can be found on each event registration page.
Available scholarships:
Two $200 scholarships are available to assist JRA members’ participation Round-Up. The application can be found on the Round-Up registration page.
The application is due May 1.
This scholarship is available to facilitate the involvement of youth interested in commercial beef production.
A private fund has been established to provide one, fully paid sponsorship for a young Red Angus enthusiast to attend Round-Up. This award will provide full registration expense to Round-Up as well as travel to Round-Up for the recipient.
The founders of this award have two primary areas of intent:
This funding for this scholarship is not intended for juniors already members of the JRA but for a young person with interest in Red Angus and the beef industry from a commercial background and one who would not be able to attend Round-Up due to expense. We are looking for young people who are motivated by the cattle industry and may benefit from attending Round-Up. Potential nominees may include children or grandchildren of your customers and bull buyers, farm- or ranch-oriented youth who don’t participate in JRA because they do not have registered cattle, young people who are buying bulls, or perhaps heifers, for use in a crossbreeding program.
RAAA and JRA members may suggest potential candidates by contacting the Junior Coordinator at juniors@redangus.org or can share the scholarship information directly. The applications are due May 1 and can be found on the the event registration website.
The award founders will select the individual recipient.
