Scholarship And Endowment

Scholarship Program

Rodeo Austin is proud to feature the Scholarship Program as a key initiative to the overall youth giving plan. For more than 30 years, Rodeo Austin has awarded thousands of college students millions of dollars of academic scholarships. These scholarships are made possible by proceeds from year-round Rodeo Austin events as well as through contributions from generous donors.

Students from all walks of life benefit from Rodeo Austin Scholarships. These recipients have proven themselves academically and within their community, meeting high standards set by Rodeo Austin. The largest determining criteria in selection of our scholars is financial need. In many cases, financial support is undeniably the number one factor in whether or not that student can attend college.

A donation to the scholarship program is fully tax-deductible and helps us provide support these young folks need to achieve their dreams.

Endowment Program

As you make decisions about how you want to leave your legacy, please remember Rodeo Austin. The Rodeo Austin Endowment is a permanent fund that helps underwrite scholarship giving annually, to ensure the permanent success of the program. Individuals who make a contribution of at least $25,000 become a named Endowment Donor, one of our highest honors as a donor.

Although annual scholarships are currently funded primarily through event proceeds, Rodeo Austin’s ultimate goal is to make scholarship giving fully funded by the Endowment.
