Jersey Scholarships Available...

High school graduates and college and university students with Jersey backgrounds are eligible to apply for 10 scholarships awarded annually by The American Jersey Cattle Club.

The basis for selecting the recipients will be need, character, scholastic excellence, and other qualifications commonly used as criteria for the awarding of scholarships for study at an ac- credited college or university.

There are four Jack C. Nisbet Scholarships awarded annually. Entries for these scholarships are accepted from those Jersey youths who are entered in the previous year's National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest (announced during the current year).

Students who are enrolled in college or those who have completed high school and are ready to enter a college or university are eligible to apply for one of three William A. Russell Scholarships awarded annually by the AJCC. Applicants must have an interest in or back- ground with Jerseys.

Two V. L. Peterson Scholarships are awarded each year to students who have completed at least one year of college. Any Jersey junior meeting that qualification may apply for these scholarships.

The Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship is awarded each year to one Jersey junior who has completed at least one year of college.

All applications for scholarships are due in the AJCC office by July 1. For further in- formation, contact: The American Jersey Cattle Club, P.O. Box 27310, Columbus, OH 43227-0310 (614/861-3636).
