In 1950, Dairy Shrine established a scholarship in honor of H.H. Kildee, Dean Emeritus at Iowa State University, to be awarded for graduate study to a student who excelled in dairy cattle judging. The Top 25 All-American contestants in one of the past three National Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Contests, plus the members of the first and second place teams in the past three National Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge Contests are eligible to apply for scholarships. Students may apply for the scholarship in their junior or senior year of college. These scholarships are to be used for advanced study related to the dairy industry (production agriculture, manufacturing, marketing, agricultural law, business, veterinary medicine and environmental sciences) at the school of their choice. The awards are based on national contest participation, academic standing, leadership ability, student activities, future plans and interest in the dairy industry. Applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is familiar with the applicant's activities and academic achievements. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the National Dairy Shrine for more information.
