The Richard Gebhart Legacy Post Graduate Annual Scholarship provides $2,500 to a student who will complete their 4-year degree prior to Fall 2023 or who has already received a 4-year degree and is continuing their post-graduate degree (Master’s, PhD, Law Degree, Etc.). This is an educational award opportunity for students nationwide.
The Gebhart Legacy Scholarship Fund is administrated through the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Foundation (OCF). According to Mariah Reimer, OCF Executive Director, applicants must be able to show experience and involvement in cattle industry leadership activities and must be members in good standing of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) or their state cattlemen’s association.
More information and the application can be found at okcattlemen.org/scholarship-opportunities-menu. Application deadline is June 1, 2023.
“Scholarships for high school seniors and undergrad students are common. Scholarships for those pursuing a post graduate degree are not as common, but still vitally important,” Reimer said. “Richard Gebhart was a unique visionary who earned several degrees in his lifetime. The Gebhart family has chosen to honor their loved one by providing a scholarship as special as Richard Gebhart’s legacy.”
Richard Gebhart is a past president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and served in several other capacities within the beef industry on a local, state and national level.
The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Foundation strives to support the Oklahoma cattle industry by preserving past traditions and educating current and future generations in coordination with OCA and OJCA. You can get involved, donate, or learn more on the website or by reaching out to the Executive Director, Mariah Reimer.
