Bexar County 4-H S.A.L.E. Scholarship
Due Late April/Early May

The Bexar County 4-H program is incredibly fortunate to receive money from the San Antonio Livestock Exposition and provide graduating seniors an opportunity to earn scholarship money toward a college education. The Bexar County 4-H S.A.L.E. scholarships are awarded each year to applicants based on their 4-H career (Current year’s Recordbook and a Scholarship Form serves as the application), and an interview. GPA restrictions and other limitations apply.

Bexar County Horse Leaders Association Scholarships
Due: July Annually

The Bexar County Horse Leaders Association Scholarship is designed to recognize 4-H members who have participated in the 4-H Horse Project and who have gained and demonstrated knowledge and skills in the principles of horsemanship. Graduation High School Seniors are eligible to apply.

Stock Show Scholarships

When you apply for a 4-H scholarship, you are automatically entered into the application process for stock shows in Texas. Stock show scholarships are based on your placing in the overall scholarship program.

The exception is Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. You will be considered for the main Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo scholarship in your general 4-H scholarship application, but Houston has other scholarships you can apply for separately. You can only receive one scholarship from Houston so we recommend that you apply for the main 4-H scholarship as well as any others you qualify for with Houston, such as the exhibitor scholarship. See a list of all scholarships available from Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.
