Texas high school senior wins beef industry scholarship
Twenty outstanding students pursuing careers in the beef industry have each been awarded a $1,500 scholarship provided by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (CME) and the National Cattlemen's Foundation (NCF). The CME has sponsored this scholarship program for 15 years.
Each scholarship winner wrote a 750-word essay that identified key issues confronting the beef industry and suggested possible ways of dealing with those issues.
The overall scholarship winner, Kari Bailes, was awarded an all-expense-paid trip to last week's 2005 Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show in San Antonio. She presented a portion of her essay during the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Awards Program luncheon on Feb. 5. In addition, her essay will be printed in a 2005 issue of the National Cattlemen magazine.
Bailes is a senior at Shepherd High School in Shepherd, Texas, and will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall of 2005. As a student, the award will allow her to take advantage of every opportunity that is possible to gain a better and broader understanding of the cattle industry.
