Share-a-Kid Scholarship
Each year, the Wisconsin Dairy Goat Association promotes interest in dairy goats in our state. One of the ways we encourage our young people in this aspect of agriculture is through our Share-a-Kid Program. We award an average of 4 to 6 dairy goat kids to young people across the state each year. This is a competitive statewide contest. The youth applicant will write an essay 100 words or more about why they would like to have a dairy goat, how they are going to take care of her (food, shelter, and medical care), and if they have ever raised a goat. If the youth is new to raising goats, please include who your mentor is. This is a very competitive contest, and we want you to put a lot of effort into your essay. Spelling and content count.
The essay can include drawings, photos, or any special things that you would like to include. Please keep a copy of your essay because no essays will be returned. If you are s
elected as a winner of a kid, your essay will be given to the donor. While we make every attempt to award winners one of their breeds of choice, if those breeds are not available, the Wisconsin Dairy Goat Association reserves the right to offer another breed to the winner. Share-a-Kid winners are not required to give a doe kid back to the program, but we encourage them to do so.
