National Western Scholarship Trust
In 1983 the National Western Scholarship Trust was formed to provide scholarships to students studying agriculture, rural medicine and veterinary science. Since then the Scholarship Trust has grown to award 100 scholarships annually, ranging from $2500 to $15,000 per student.
Every year proceeds from four major events are contributed to the Scholarship Trust. These events are the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale, the Citizen of the West dinner, the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions and the annual Boots ‘n Business luncheon. Since its inception, the Trust has awarded over 3000 scholarships and grown to over $10 million dollars.
Supporting Events
Get involved today! Proceeds from the following events support the National Western Scholarship Trust.
The award dinner takes place the first Monday of the January Stock Show, and is considered one of the most prestigious events in Denver. To learn more click here.
Every January, the National Western Stock Show hosts the Coors Western Art Exhibit. The exhibit is opened with the glamorous Red Carpet Reception. To learn more click here.
This exciting event will be held on January 24, 2020. To learn more click here.
The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and the National Western Stock Show team up for a hoof-stomping, whip-cracking good time. This luncheon event caters to the business community, and is designed to promote the Stock Show’s importance to our economy and quality of life. The event annually attracts a sell-out crowd of nearly 1000 business people, state and local elected officials, and Chamber leadership. A portion of proceeds is donated to the NW Scholarship Trust.
