RANDALL BECKENDORFF MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Randall Beckendorff Memorial Scholarship was founded in 1980 in memory of Randall Mark (Randy) Beckendorff. This scholarship is intended to provide financial assistance to the student who is of average scholastic performance, but who is extremely dedicated and hardworking, and who is interested in pursuing an education in the field of agriculture. The Scholarship Committee takes an active interest in its recipients, and the Fund has a very high percentage of recipients who have graduated from their chosen colleges. To be eligible to apply for the Randall Beckendorff Memorial Scholarship, the student must be a senior graduating from a Katy Independent School District high school. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required, and the student must be pursuing an education in the field of agriculture. The Scholarship Committee does not discriminate because of race, gender, age, or religion. The total amount of the scholarship is dependent upon fundraiser successes.
