Pat Nowlin Memorial Scholarship Applications Sought by NM CowBelles

Each year the NM CowBelles accept scholarship applications to honor the memory of

Pat Nowlin who was instrumental in beginning the first CowBelle organization in Arizona

in 1947 followed by the New Mexico organization when she moved to the Cimarron area

in 1957. Nowlin served as our first NM CowBelle president and was later elected to the

position of national secretary / treasurer.

The NM CowBelles will again offer two $500 scholarships to be awarded to graduating

high school seniors and one additional $500 scholarship to be given to a college

upperclassman or adult returning to college to obtain their degree. Applicants must be

a paid member of the NM CowBelles, a junior age member or a child of a NM CowBelle

in order to apply. Scholarship applications must also include:

2) Applicant’s photo.
