Applicants must have participated in two or more divisions within each year of the two required years.

- College Attendance Requirements: It is mandatory that the scholarship winner attend a college, university or certified vocational trade school the fall semester immediately following selection and use the scholarship funds beginning that semester. Only with special permission from the Nueces County Junior Livestock Show Scholarship Committee may the use of the scholarship be deferred one year.

- ACT/SAT Scores: SAT and/or ACT scores must be included in the application and posted on the transcript.
- Interviews: Not all applicants will be granted interviews. Applications will be judged objectively and interviews will be granted based on scoring of the applications. Written notification will be provided to all contestants as to their need to participate in an interview. The only approved absence from an interview will be a UIL, FFA, FCCLA, or 4-H competition.
- Submission and Deadline: The application opens December 15th and closes March 1st online.
