For the past 7 years, the MHSRA Alumni Foundation has gifted two annual scholarships to a graduating girl and boy who is pursuing secondary education. The Scholarships are gifted in memory of a past Minnesota High School Alumni who made significant contributions to the sport of rodeo in this state. The alumni memorialized are voted on annually. Past scholarships have been given in memory of Ken Carlson, Gary Bose, Jerry Zins, Bud Sandberg, Martha Mooney, Susan (Aus) Hammer, Wally Steiner, and Tim Baer. The contestants who receive the scholarship go through an interview process during the State Finals and are selected based on pre-determined criteria in five areas.
