Alabama Cattlemen’s Foundation awards scholarship
Brayden Bolton was awarded the Tagged for Campus Involvement at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Foundation Scholarship Banquet held May 3 in Wetumpka. He is the son of Rodney Bolton and Donna Bolton of Russellville.
Bolton attends the University of North Alabama where he is pursuing a degree in Information Technology. He was one of 113 scholarship recipients awarded over $110,250 in scholarship by the Alabama Cattlemen’s Foundation.
The ACF serves to engage in educational and scientific activities to improve the beef cattle industry in Alabama and educate youth on the importance of beef cattle in Alabama. It provides the opportunity to make tax deductible donations for the educational work of the foundation and is largely funded by the sale of the “Cowboy Tag” vanity license plate.
Throughout the year, the ACF supports numerous organizations and events which help to educate and train future generations of the livestock industry. The ACF has awarded scholarship money each year to Alabama youth with more than $1.2 million being awarded so far.
