Together, the American Simmental Association and the American Simmental/Simbrah Foundation support this Merit Award Scholarship Program each year. Only one award can be achieved per year per applicant. The Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Certificates are presented to the winners at the National Classic each year. However, the Silver & Gold scholarship money is not awarded until the recipient has registered and paid tuition to attend a postsecondary institution. At that time, the recipient must send proof of enrollment to the Chief Financial Officer at ASA, Linda Kesler ( lkesler@simmgene.com ). A check will then be forwarded to the recipient.
