Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Educational Programs

Since the Show began in 1932, nearly $375 million has been committed to the youth of Texas. The Show has presented more than 15,500 scholarships since the first scholarship was awarded in 1957.

Because college is only a dream for so many students, the Show has made an extraordinary impact on the lives of countless young men and women in its quest to benefit the youth of Texas and support them through education. Currently, more than 2,100 students are on Show scholarships, attending more than 100 different Texas colleges and universities. The value of these scholarships is approximately $40 million.

All recipients of Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarships must demonstrate academic potential, citizenship/leadership and financial need, and they must attend a Texas college or university.
