7 FWSSR AWARDS NEARLY $100,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO TEXAS FFA STUDENTS Hurricanes posed no problem for Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo officials who made their way to Houston on the heels of Hurricane Beryl to award $96,000 to 12 deserving students at the 2024 Texas FFA Convention July 10. “The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is always thrilled to award these scholarships in fulfillment of its mission to support the education of Texas youth in agriculture,” said FWSSR President Brad Barnes. “Having the opportunity to personally meet these students and witness their accomplishments is truly inspiring.” “With the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo less than six months away, we’re already looking forward to seeing the thousands of students who come to the show each year,” said FWSSR General Manager Matt Carter. “The students who received scholarships this summer are exemplary role models for Texas youth who share a common goal to achieve success in agriculture in its many forms.” Each student was awarded an $8,000 scholarship. More than $1.1 million was awarded by the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo to deserving scholarship winners during the organization’s 2024 fiscal year. 2024 Texas FFA FWSSR Scholarship Recipients: From left to right, • Lauren Callaway, Ira • Andrew Cole, Madisonville • Kaitlyn Garner, Blue Ridge • Hudson Glenn, Riesel • Landon Holmes, Harper • Kaitlynn Keilers , Waller • Kaleb Leutwyler, Cushing • Cooper Mau, Fayetteville • Madison Mutina, Riesel • Juliana Sirmans, White Deer • Kyler Wendt, College Station Not pictured: Cyrah Decker, Iowa Park 7
