The LMA Auctioneer School Scholarship provides a one-time scholarship to qualified applicants who intend to attend auction school, display knowledge or understanding of the importance of the livestock marketing industry, and plan to use their training to support the auction method of marketing livestock.

Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 25, demonstrate knowledge or understanding of the importance of the livestock marketing industry through their essay response, and be endorsed by an active LMA member.

The Livestock Marketing Association launched a scholarship program in 2023. The purpose of this program is to provide a one-time scholarship to qualified applicants who are interested in or display knowledge or understanding of the importance of the agriculture industry and its supporting entities, as well as plan to use their career to advocate for the advancement of the livestock marketing industry.

Applicants must be a graduating high school senior and/or currently enrolled at an accredited post-secondary institution (i.e. trade school, community college, junior college, university, veterinary science, veterinary medicine or law) in the year of the award. Please note that auction school is not a currently accepted institution for this application, there will be a separate scholarship application for those wishing to attend auction school.

For 2024, nine students have been selected to receive $2,500 scholarships from the Livestock Marketing Association Scholarship Program.

The scholarship, now in its second year, was expanded to support more students with aspirations of using their careers to support the livestock and livestock marketing industry. Applicants must be sponsored by an LMA member livestock marketing business and answer essay questions on issues of importance to the industry.
