The scholarship will provide monetary assistance and help young people discover the wonderful world of beekeeping. Through this program of providing beekeeping scholarships, we have uncovered an additional objective of bringing families together --through beekeeping!

2019 State Livestock Nomination Forms & Information
All families who will be nominating livestock projects must use the 2019 forms and information. If you have forms from previous years, please dispose of them. The forms are form-fillable PDF files. Families may complete the paperwork electronically and save their contact and animal information before printing the forms to be signed.
The most significant change for this year is the YQCA (Youth for the Quality Care of Animals) requirement. This is required for all exhibitors who will be participating at the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive and/or Kansas Junior Livestock Show. Youth nominating animals will need to attach their YQCA certificate or non-expired PQA number to their Declaration Form. Those who will be showing purebred breeding females (and therefore do not nominate them) will submit their YQCA information as part of the entry process for both shows. Please read the Rookie Guide to see all of the updates.
Market Beef (includes steers/market heifers) nominations due May 1.
Commercial Heifer, Market Swine, Commercial Gilt, Market Lamb, Commercial Ewe, and ALL Meat Goat nominations are due June 15.
*Remember that all nominations MUST BE signed by an agent. All forms MUST BE completely filled out and signed by the exhibitor and parent/legal guardian before an agent will sign. It is a good idea to call the extension office to make sure there is an agent available. It is suggested that families not wait until the last day to get signatures.
You can find all of the forms, guidelines, and checklists at the KSU Youth Livestock page.
