NUECES COUNTY 4-H
Applications for the Misty Wimberly Memorial Scholarship are available online http://nueces.agrlife.org/publications/4-h-youth-development. This
scholarship was established from funds provided by family and friends to honor
Misty Wimberly, daughter of Ronnie and Kathy Wimberly. Misty died in a tragic
automobile accident on June 17, 1989. At the time of her death, Misty was actively involved in the 4-H and FFA programs and constantly encouraged other
youth through her leadership and active support of these programs. This is a
$500.00 one-year scholarship, with one-half (1/2) being paid each semester to
recipient’s college or university. Completed applications are due in the Nueces
County Junior Livestock Show Office by April 1.
