CANON CITY, Colo. — The Colorado CattleWomen (CCW) announce the 2025 Cattle Women Legacy Scholarship. The Heather Hays Stinnett Memorial Scholarship honors Colorado CattleWomen Past President Heather Stinnett and will be awarded to a woman pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree.

Heather’s agricultural credentials include serving as Colorado FFA Reporter, judging livestock at Seward Community College and graduating from Oklahoma State University with degrees in Animal Science and Agricultural Communications. She and her family owned a feed store, raised commercial cattle, and operated a custom grazing enterprise. Heather served as the President of the CCW from 2017 to 2019. She then served as the Chair of the Board of Directors for the American National Cattlewomen in 2019.
Applications are being accepted for the scholarship until April 15, 2025 and the scholarship will be awarded in June at the 2025 Colorado CattleWomen annual meeting in Steamboat Springs.
