Scholarships are an integral part of an undergraduate teaching program. For the 2007-200 school year approximately $75,000 was awarded to South Dakota State University students majoring in Animal Science or Range Science. Financial aid for students is increasingly important and the department appreciates the generosity of the organizations and individuals and their families and friends that make these scholarships available.   Deadline for receipt of applications on-line is February 15.  Deadline for receipt of Tex Lewis scholarships (for range science majors) is February 15, 2008 (see additional information at bottom of this WEB page).
