Need help paying for college?

If you know someone who could use some help paying for college, keep reading.

Each year, the children and grandchildren of ACA members are eligible for more than $20,000 in scholarships awarded through the Alabama Cattlemen's Foundation. Most of these scholarships are funded through the sale of the "Cowboy Tag" you've likely seen on the back of cars and trucks on the highway here in Alabama.

Each time someone goes to their local tag office to renew their license plate, they have the option to get a "Cowboy Tag" instead of the standard Alabama plate.Of the $50 that you pay to get the "Cowboy Tag", about forty five dollars comes to the Alabama Cattlemen's Foundation and is used to fund these scholarships and other educational programs.

Please pay careful attention to each and every scholarship offered and be sure to send in an application for each one that may apply to you. Each scholarship has its own criteria and no one person is eligible for each scholarship.

These scholarships will be awarded at the 2011 ACA Convention & Trade Show to be held February 11-12 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center located in the renovated downtown district of Montgomery.
