Coni Ross Scholarship
Information:
"The Coni Ross Scholarship" which is named for one of our Past Presidents. Her family has donated some funds to be set aside for our chapter to give to a deserving graduating senior every year in the spring to further their education. Coni Ross was a registered nurse, rancher, and especially up until she died in 2020 raised angora goats, then cashmere goats. She won multiple national and regional awards for innovations in and contribution to the mohair, cashmere and boer goat industries. She was a well-respected ABGA judge and a pioneer and a legend in the goat industry. Her depth of health and medicinal knowledge rivaled that of most veterinarians and some doctors. While Coni received countless awards over decades she will be remembered for her giving spirit, her love for her children, grandchildren and her compassion for people and animals.
Therefore, we are offering this scholarship in her name to any Blanco County senior in high school, private or public, that desires to go into Nursing, Health Sciences or Agriculture Science in college or other higher learning institute.
