Over 80 applications were submitted from students across Weld County high schools for a chance to be considered for a Greeley Stampede Foundation scholarship.
They selected recipients based on their outstanding academic results, school involvement, leadership in the community, and plans to further their education. The selected 2019 Greeley Stampede Foundation High School Academic Scholarship recipients represent 14 Weld County High Schools. The Foundation Board is proud to help these community-minded students build a bright future for themselves and, as a result, our community.
For the fifth year, one college-level rodeo scholarship was awarded based on academic results and competitive level with the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. The 2019 recipient is Soultana Liberatore who attends Colorado State University and is pursuing a dual major in Health and Exercise Science.
Also, to support the young lady who dedicates herself to represent the state of Colorado and the Greeley Stampede as the home rodeo of the Miss Colorado Pageant across the nation, 2019 Miss Rodeo Colorado, Kellie Stockton, has been awarded a Foundation scholarship.
Over $57,000 will be awarded to students for the 2019-2020 academic year.
