The Harvest Festival and Livestock Show will provide scholarships for outstanding FFA and 4-H Club members. The top scholarship winner will be awarded the 4-year Albert Horaney Memorial Scholarship.
Officials of the Harvest Festival and Livestock Show will disburse the scholarship funds after completion of each semester and upon receipt of the college transcript for the semester completed. Harvest Festival and Livestock Show College Scholarship recipients may attend any accredited junior or four-year college. Harvest Festival and Livestock Show Vocational Scholarship recipients may attend a vocational or technical school.
Harvest Festival Scholarship recipients are responsible for submitting their transcripts of twelve or more earned college credit hours (minimum 2.0 GPA cumulative) to receive scholarship funds for that semester. If student hours are under the minimum number of 12 or the cumulative GPA is less than a 2.0, no scholarship funds will be distributed for that semester, to that student.
Students must attend semesters consecutively or the scholarship will be forfeited. If there are extenuating circumstances, the student must contact the committee for approval.
Payment requested for scholarship funds must be submitted on or before the beginning of the next semester, or funds will be forfeited.
Copies of transcripts from previous semester must be received at Shannon Fell, 904 North Sixth Street, Longview, Texas 75601 before the funds will be distributed.
