includes bus transportation to and from DC, 6 nights
hotel, all admissions tickets, 7 lunches, 6 breakfasts

Congratulations AJCA Scholarship Winners!!!
Eric Birkner, Solgohachia - Eric will be
attending the University of Arkansas this fall, majoring
in civil engineering with an emphasis on environmental
engineering. His agricultural background gives him
a unique prospective and desire to protect our
environment. He says that exhibiting cattle
through AJCA has given him the opportunity to hone his
skills as a showman and a leader. He has served
AJCA in many roles and is currently a board member of
the
North American Limousin Junior Association.
Amanda Holland, Annieville - Amanda will
be attending Crowley's Ridge College in Paragould and
will later transfer to ASU Jonesboro. She will
major in agriculture business with emphasis in marking
and sales. She has won many awards in AJCA and is
active in many youth development organizations.
Exhibiting cattle has helped her grow in maturity and
feel comfortable talking to various ages of people from
all backgrounds. Amanda says, "I will never forget
all the fun I have had as a member of the AJCA."
Jacob Irwin, Ola - Jacob will be attending
Arkansas Tech University this fall, majoring in pre-vet
studies. Jacob says that his involvement in AJCA
gave him a "leg up" in leadership, service and knowledge
that has served to broaden his interest in the beef
industry. Jacob is a board member of the American
Salers Junior Association. Through junior
livestock associations like the AJCA, Jacob has
developed into a well-rounded individual.
Matt Loggains, Violett Hill - Matt plans to
attend ASU Jonesboro and pursue a degree in agriculture
education. Matt has a desire to positively impact
future youth to become more aware and involved in
agriculture related careers - specifically the livestock
industry. Matt says, "Being an active
participant in AJCA has been beneficial to me in many
different ways." He says that he has met some of
his closest friends through AJCA.
Mattie Marsh, Huntsville - Mattie will
attend the University of Arkansas to pursue her
pre-pharmacy and poultry science studies. Her
biggest cattle accomplishment of 2010 was being selected
as the Reserve Champion showmanship winner at the
National Western. One of Mattie's most outstanding
qualities is her strong work ethic and dedication to her
projects. Mattie says, "Living on the farm is a
lot of hard work and responsibility. It has given
me what I need to succeed in life."
