CCJLSA Scholarship Program:
The intent of providing scholarships to FFA and 4-H students from the Comal County Junior Livestock Show Association (CCJLSA) was enacted to enhance the ability of agriculture students from Comal County to further their education. In voting to do so, it was originally intended that the CCJLSA would provide scholarship funds from the profits made at the concession stand during the Livestock Show and Sale. These profits would be divided equally among the Ag programs (FFA Chapters & 4-H), assuming all programs volunteer to work the concession stand. The requirements set forth by the CCJLSA are:
1. Applicant's family are members of the CCJLSA by Dec. 1 each year the student exhibited.
2. Applicant's are members in good standing in the FFA or 4-H at the time of application.
3. Applicant's participated as exhibitors for at least 2 years during high school.
4. Applicant must have participated in operation of the concession stand, or another part of the Show & Sale process, during the stock Show and Sale each year they exhibited in the show during their high school years.

Additional 4-H requirements include the following:
1. 4-H Recordbook
2. Interview
3. Short application (includes a 300 word or less description of involvement with CCJLSA)

In addition to the above, the following must be observed:
There will be a limit of 2 scholarships awarded for each FFA and 4-H per year. If there is deemed to be only one qualified applicant, the second award may be rolled over to the following year, at which time three scholarships may be given for that year. If only two scholarships are awarded the next year, the excess funds will be returned to CCJLSA.

The CCJLSA has never assumed responsibility for choosing to whom the scholarships are awarded. It has been the Association’s determination that each FFA or 4-H program would award scholarships to applicants based on criteria set by the program coordinator and include the requirements of the CCJLSA stated above.

These guidelines may be changed or amended as needed to improve the scholarship awards program process.

Students should collect signatures for the activities in which they participate. The following information is requested:
1. Student Name and Club Affiliation
2. Concession Stand Participation, Herdsman Responsibilities, and/or Club Responsibilities (Signature of Adult in charge) for each.

Footnote: If applicant is applying through FFA, the application form is available at the counselor’s office. If applying through 4-H, instead of an application form, a short essay and a 4-H recordbook are required.
