Six aspiring students can win $33,500 through the Colvin Scholarship Fund, developed in 1999 to honor the cofounder of the Certified Angus Beef (CAB) brand. As Louis M. "Mick" Colvin retired after 21 years as executive director, these annual scholarships began as a way to carry on his legacy of making dreams a reality and inspiring others to be their best.
They recognize tomorrow’s leaders who are involved in their communities and committed to continued success and progress within the beef community. A $7,500 award goes to the top graduate student, along with five undergraduate scholarships totaling $26,000, the top award there also at $7,500. Undergraduates ranking second through fifth will receive scholarships of $6,500, $5,000, $4,000 and $3,000, respectively.
