The Klussendorf / McKown Scholarships will be awarded, three from the Klussendorf's Chris Kampf fund and four from the McKown Fund. To be eligible, students must be in their first, second, or third year at a 2-year or 4-year college or university in the United States or Canada majoring in dairy science, animal science, agri-business, or other related majors that will develop the skills needed to pursue a career in the dairy industry. Youth affiliated with all dairy breeds are encouraged to apply for these scholarships; however, the McKown scholarships will give preference to youth from predominantly Holstein backgrounds. Past, present, or potential members of dairy cattle judging teams will receive special consideration. Applicants need to show leadership, participation in extracurricular activities, and a special interest and ability in showing dairy cattle in their best natural form. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the National Dairy Shrine for more information.
