Texas Big Game Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Texas Big Game Awards
Overview
A total of nine scholarships are awarded each year: one winner from each of the eight TBGA regions plus a single statewide top scholarship. Applicants must be pursuing majors in agriculture and/or natural resources.
Who may apply
Eligible candidates include graduating high school seniors and students who will be entering college as freshmen, sophomores, or juniors. Participation in the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA) is not required to apply; however, applicants who have submitted entries to the Texas Big Game Awards will receive an additional preference point during the review.
How winners are chosen
Applications are assessed using a points-based scoring rubric and every submission is reviewed and ranked by a statewide scoring committee.
Attendance requirement
Scholarship recipients are required to attend their Regional TBGA Banquet to receive the award. Use the TBGA Regional Map to identify your region and consult the Banquet Dates page for the location of your region’s banquet next spring.
Deadline
Complete applications must be postmarked by March 31 each year.
