Michigan Youth Livestock Scholarship Fund

Michigan residents who are graduating high school seniors or recent graduates continuing their education may apply if they exhibited livestock at qualifying Michigan fairs for at least three prior years. Preference goes to students pursuing agricultural or related fields.

Awards are available up to $5,000, with additional statewide recognition up to $1,000 for county fair exhibitors. Finalists may interview for the top awards.

Complete the official online Kaleidoscope application with two letters of reference, recent academic transcripts, and required essays by the May 3 deadline. The fund has supported youth livestock and dairy exhibitors since 2000.
