Valley Center Stampede Rodeo Scholarship Program

The Valley Center Stampede Rodeo & Memorial Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and awards thousands of dollars of scholarships each year. In addition to the scholarship that comes with the Miss Valley Center Stampede Rodeo Queen Title, we also award several scholarships to graduating seniors who volunteer at the rodeo and/or participate in FFA-related activities.
