2024 PCA SCHOLARSHIP

The Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association (PCA) was established in 1978 to serve as the voice for Pennsylvania cattle producers. PCA works to serve all facets of the Pennsylvania cattle industry including cattle breeders, producers, and feeders.

To inspire and promote the next generation of cattlemen and women, PCA has created a scholarship fund in the amount of $750 that will be awarded to an outstanding undergraduate student who is pursuing a degree and/or acting as a contributing member of the beef and cattle industry.
