Community Involvement |
|
 ® |
|
| |
Every year, the Sw Int'l PRCA Rodeo
provides numerous character education and anti-drug awareness programs
through out the El Paso school systems. These programs are commonly
referred to by names like REACTS,
REACh or Cowboys & Kids. So if you
hear those names around town, you'll know they are done thru this Rodeo's
involvement with the community. |
| |
|
| |
Another rodeo initiative the Sw
Int'l PRCA Rodeo has become involved with yearly is to partner with a local
charity organization to heighten awareness for their cause and to raise
money to aid their efforts. Each year, the local organization will be
featured here. |

Scholarship Information |
|

The Southwestern International
PRCA Rodeo supports the youth of El Paso County through scholarships to
accredited colleges or universities. These funds are to cover tuition, fees
or both and will be disbursed by semester after entrance verification. |
| |
Certain criteria must be met in
order to qualify for a scholarship. Among the criteria is that the
applicant must be a member in good standing with either the FFA or 4-H and
be in the 10th grade or above. |
| |
Qualifications for the scholarship
will be based on need, scholastic record and record of accomplishments. The
applicant must be in the upper ½ of his or her class after the 1st
quarter or semester of the current school year. |

The scholarship winner must attend
college the fall semester after graduation. With special permission from
the Rodeo, the use of the scholarship may be deferred one year. Funds not
used within four years of entrance will be returned to the scholarship fund. |
