Over the past 25 years, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo has awarded over $90,000 to deserving Sheridan County students.
Every year, Sheridan County graduating high school seniors are invited to apply for the three (3) $1,000 Sheridan WYO Rodeo scholarships. Over the past 25 years, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo has awarded over $90,000 to deserving Sheridan County students.
Applicants must graduate from a high school in Sheridan County the year they apply and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00.
As an incentive to help with the various activities surrounding the rodeo, all applicants that are a part of the SPURS volunteer group will receive extra points toward the total points that determine the scholarship winners.
The application deadline for 2024 is April 15.
Cael Gilbertson stays busy throughout the year with
extracurricular activities such as sports, National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Big Brothers Big Sisters and volunteering at youth
sports camps. For the last three years, Gilbertson has also helped set up for the Gold Buckle Club at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds and the pancake breakfast in downtown Sheridan. Gilbertson plans to major in kinesiology at the University of Wyoming, with the goal of becoming a physical therapist. Teachers and coaches remarked on Gilbertson’s leadership abilities and model behavior. “Not every high school student asks what they can do to become a better soccer player, a better student or even a better person,” said Wade Kinsey, Gilbertson’s teacher and coach. “Not every student is respectful, warmhearted and driven. Not every student is Cael Gilbertson.
Lucinda Wilcock is no
stranger to the Sheridan WYO Rodeo. She has volunteered as a Wrangler since 2019 and plans to continue her membership when she completes
college. She has also twice competed in the Sheridan WYO Rodeo royalty program. Wilcock is a member of the Sheridan 4-H and Sheridan High School Student Council, serving as vice president of the class of 2023. Wilcock hopes to earn a degree in nursing from the University of Wyoming and noted
she has always felt a calling to help people who are hurting or in trouble. She earned a cumulative
GPA of 3.657 and those who recommended her for the scholarship sang her praises. “Lucy was always a great inspiration and an example of good leadership to our club members,” said Carolyn French, Wilcock’s 4-H leader for the last nine years. “She was always willing to help them in any area she had knowledge of that particular project area.”
Josaphine Ankney has helped make the Sheridan WYO Rodeo a success by volunteering to catch, hold and fold the giant American flag on the arena floor; stamp and check tickets; hand out programs; and work in the Gold Buckle Club with caterers. She has also worked with the Wranglers and the John B. Kendrick FFA Chapter at slack. Ankney is a 10-year member of the Wyotana 4-H Club, five-year member of the FFA, member of the National Honor
Society and a three-sport athlete. Ankney plans to major in finance at Charleston Southern University, hoping to one day guide young ranchers and farmers in the areas of savings and risk management. She hopes to keep young generations on their family ranches and farms. “Josie is a hard worker, cares about her success and sets goals
for herself that she achieves time and again,” said Becky Leno, a Sheridan High School counselor.
