Scholarship Opportunities Available American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) members that will graduate from high school in the spring of 2009 or are currently college students that will not be more than 21 on January 1, 2009 are eligible for two special scholarships. The Jimmy Christopher Memorial Scholarship application is due in the AGA office no later than November 1, 2008. Up to two scholarships may be presented to AGJA members. Applicants must reside east of the Mississippi River, in addition to meeting the age and membership requirements. Jimmy Christopher was the longtime herdsman at Gelbvieh Bar None Ranch in North Carolina. His greatest joy was getting a young person started in the Gelbvieh business. An AGJA member can only win the Jimmy Christopher Memorial Scholarship once. The Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity Scholarship is due in the AGA office on December 1, 2008. A $1,000 scholarship will be presented to a deserving AGJA member during the Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity in Denver, Colo. The Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity committee voted to begin this scholarship in 2007. The first scholarship was presented to Nikki Hojer of Lake Preston, S.D., in January 2008. AGJA members can only win the Bull Futurity Scholarship once. Both applications are available on the AGA website at www.gelbvieh.org under the Junior page.
