Student Fellowship Program
In an effort to enhance the educational experiences of college students and strengthen the leaders of tomorrow’s livestock and meat industry, the International Stockmen’s Educational Foundation awards fellowships each year for the International Livestock Congress (“ILC”) to senior-level undergraduates and graduate students attending accredited colleges or universities.
The ILC is a unique global event that brings leaders from the livestock and meat industry together to discuss issues of international importance that affect the future of animal agriculture.
Scholastic achievement, leadership experiences, and a professional reference are all part of the stringent qualifying requirements for this fellowship program.
The ILC and the Student Fellowship Program is held during the world famous Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo in Houston, Texas! More details of the upcoming program will be provided to the selected applicants.
