Bogata Rodeo Association Scholarship
Established in 2021, the Bogata Rodeo Association Scholarship reflects our commitment to investing in our community's future. As a nonprofit organization rooted in Western heritage and agriculture, we aim to support local students who demonstrate strong character, work ethic, and a connection to the values that define our region.
Each year, the Bogata Rodeo Association awards one $500 scholarship to deserving students from our local community. While not a strict requirement, preference is given to applicants with backgrounds in agriculture-related activities such as 4-H, FFA, rodeo, or similar experiences. In Red River County and across Texas, agriculture is a foundational part of life, and applicants are encouraged to highlight how their personal experiences—whether through family, work, or community involvement—have shaped their values and future goals.

- Must be a graduating high school senior from Red River County, Texas
