MHSR Scholarships

Each year MHSR awards scholarships to High School seniors. Students complete an application and undergo an interview process. Awards are announced at the annual High School finals. When the form is available for the next award cycle, it will be posted on this page.

MHSR Merit Scholarship

Each year MHSR awards Merit Scholarships to senior student members. Scholarships are allocated based upon total MHSR membership. The scholarships are provided to the states by the National High School Rodeo Foundation, with states determining the recipients through an application and interview process. This program is intended to reward those members who have supported the association over the years through their participation, passion and good all-around conduct.

Johnny had an eye for livestock and provided cattle for rodeos, jackpots and benefits all over the state of Missouri and neighboring states. In 2005 Johnny and his family started and ran Show-Me Timed Event Challenge at the arena on their farm. Johnny was known for making people feel welcome, encouraging contestants and being fair to all. The Johnny Laughlin Memorial Scholarship is awarded to an MHSR contestant who cares for others, their livestock and carrying on the morals and traditions of the western way of life.

NHSRA Scholarships

The National High School Rodeo Foundation was created in 1970. It is the "scholarship arm" of the NHSRA, awarding thousands of dollars in educational funding each year to NHSRA members.
