NCHCA producer education scholarship
NCHCA Launches New Scholarship Fund for All Members Starting in 2022
During the last five years, due to the overwhelming success of the Highland Production Sale presented by the NCHCA, we have built up a very good financial standing in our treasury. While a portion of those earnings have been allocated to the NCHCA savings, the NCHCA Board has created a scholarship to help all members pursue educational opportunities. For immediate questions, please contact any member of the NCHCA Board. A special thank you to the NCHCA Sale Committee and all of the farms who have sold and purchased cattle on the NCHCA Production Sales to make these scholarships available.
