The NRHA awards a scholarship each year to a graduating Nebraska high school senior.  The scholarship fund was started in honor of the late Ray Warren and Tom Forst, both with strong ties to the Elkhorn, Nebraska area, AQHA and the Nebraska Quarter Horse Assoc.  Both Ray and Tom passed away in 1991 and were close friends.  The NRHA holds a memorial team roping jackpot each fall. Proceeds from the roping go to fund the scholarship.  NRHA will gladly accept donations in any amount at any time throughout the year with 100% of donations going directly to fund the scholarship.
The Nebraska Roping Horse Association encourages all youth who will be high school seniors graduating in the year 2011 to apply for this scholarship.  Just because the NRHA awards the scholarship does not mean that applicants must be ropers!  Any youth with any background in 4-H, farming, ranching, showing, rodeo, or agriculture in general, will meet the application criteria.  Applications can be found on this website or at Educationquest.org, or by contacting lklemon@q.com or calling 402-332-2834.   The deadline for submission is February 28, 2011.
If you have questions, need additional information, or would like to make a donation to the Ray Warren/Tom Forst Memorial Fund, please contact Doc Lemon at 402-332-2834 or lklemon@q.com.  Checks can be made out to and donations may be mailed directly to The Ray Warren/Tom Forst Memorial Fund at the Pinnacle Bank in Gretna, NE.  All donations are tax deductible.
