COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is giving away 1.2 million dollars to 98 Texas college students as part of their Achievement Scholarship Program.
The scholarships are awarded to current Rodeo scholars working toward an undergraduate degree at a four-year university. They need to have completed four semesters and at least 60 hours of college coursework to be eligible, along with having a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
The 98 recipients attend 15 universities across the state, and 23 of the them are pursuing their degree right here at Texas A&M in College Station.
