Texas Pork Producers Association Scholarship

The Texas Pork Producers Association Scholarship was established in 1992 by Texas Pork Producers Association, Inc. to provide a $500 scholarship for a student interested in swine production with preference for that person to be in Animal Science. Criteria includes scholarship, financial need and preference given to an upper-class student.

Originally established in 1889, the Texas Pork Producers Association (TPPA) is the source for representing the state"s pork industry. TPPA not only brings together people with a common interest to produce positive results for its members but focuses on keeping its members aware and responsive to the numerous issues and changing information within pork industry, and are able to provide relevant and useful materials at the point of need.

Through educational seminars, youth activities, livestock shows, and by working cooperatively with other state and national organizations, TPPA has been able to provide its members with a great deal of information and expertise in all areas of production. Additionally, the Texas Pork Producers Association represents and advocates on behalf of the state"s pig farmers and industry stakeholders and encourages consumers to ";put more pork on their fork." Through collaboration with the National Pork Checkoff, TPPA provides consumers with information about the nutritional value, versatility and preparation of pork.
