ED BIBLE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Reason:
The Hereford Breed lost a great friend and colleague in 1998. All too often legends are not recognized in their own time. Ed Bible joined the APHA in 1973, and through the following 25 years he supported and encouraged the senior, junior and Poll-Ette associations. He left a positive imprint on the Hereford breed and industry. For this we honor him with this scholarship.

Purpose: To help a Hereford Junior member finance his or her education.

Award:
The scholarship will consist of a plaque, which will be presented to the recipient(s) at the Junior National Hereford Expo, and a $500 check, which will be awarded later.
