YQCA Scholarship
The national youth livestock quality assurance program, Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA), is continuing the scholarship program they initiated in 2025. Applications are now open and will close on February 15. High school seniors through college students who are 21 years of age are encouraged to apply. Last year, Kansas had two of the scholarship recipients! For more information, visit the YQCA program website: https://yqcaprogram.org/local/2026-scholarship-program.php.
