This year\u2019s recipients include funding from the Rich Zahringer Memorial Scholarship Fund, which supports those students who focus on agricultural business and accounting in recognition of the fund\u2019s namesake, who was a longtime bison industry accountant and is among the pioneers of the modern bison-business. The scholarship is made possible by Rocky Mountain Natural Meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s scholarship recipients include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Kendall Wald \u2013 South Dakota State University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Lydia O\u2019Sullivan &#8211; South Dakota State University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Mikayla Lacher &#8211; Kansas State University&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Merdith Halweg &#8211; University of Wyoming&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary mission of the foundation is to annually award scholarships in bison related studies. Some previous winning students have pursued degrees in veterinary medicine (production or pathology research), nutrition (livestock or meat), animal science, and behavior science. One common theme they have all possessed is an interest in the advancement of the bison industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can support the Throlson American Bison Scholarship by making a tax-deductible to the Throlson American Bison Foundation by contacting the NBA at (303)292-2833, by emailing <a href=\"mailto:info@bisoncentral.com\">info@bisoncentral.com<\/a>, or by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/bisoncentral.com\/about-nba\/throlson-american-bison-foundation\">http:\/\/bisoncentral.com\/about-nba\/throlson-american-bison-foundation<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bison Scholarships Awarded to Four University Students Throlson Bison Foundation Awards $16,000 in Financial Support Westminster, CO (November 9, 2023) \u2013 Four emerging livestock industry leaders received welcomed financial support &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
