SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo awarded more than $765,000 to support Bexar County students and programs on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Fifty students received $590,000 in scholarships, while nearly $176,000 in grants went to local schools and community groups.<\/p>\n
Officials said the scholarship recipients distinguished themselves through their contributions to their schools and communities.<\/p>\n
For two of this year\u2019s recipients, the award carries meaning beyond the financial support.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like this opportunity has helped me and is going to help me in the future to build connections with people, because a lot of people here are going their separate ways, but knowing that you can say, \u2018Oh our senior year, that summer we both won the … scholarship,\u2019 so we can build that connection,\u201d said Quentin Batts and Micai Thompson, who both received scholarships.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the money will not only help students with college costs but also boost local job training programs across Bexar County.<\/p>\n
