Moss-Gallegos Memorial Scholarship
The Izard County Fair Board and the Purple Circle Committee are awarding a scholarship to a senior in Izard County. At least one five-hundred dollar scholarship will be awarded if eligible candidates are available. This scholarship will be in the memory of Kailey Moss and James Gallegos. Both were well-known senior beef exhibitors at our county fair as well as district and state events. Their love of the fair and the beef exhibits are the inspirations for this scholarship.

Seniors will need to complete the application and have it postmarked by July 25, 2011. The scholarship winner will be announced at the Purple Circle banquet. Winners will need to provide the committee with proof of enrollment in a college of their choice before the money is distributed.
