Kansas Livestock Foundation Scholarships

The Kansas Livestock Foundation (KLF), in conjunction with Merck Animal Health, GoBob Pipe & Steel, Hampel Oil and the Kansas CattleWomen, is offering several scholarships for the 2022-23 school year.

The number of scholarships awarded in each category will be dependent upon the number of qualified applicants and funds available.
