Central Life Sciences will once again partner with the South Texas Longhorn Association (STLA) to award educational scholarships to 2011 graduating high school seniors. This is the third year that Central Life Sciences has joined with STLA to provide scholarships to the youth of ranching families associated with Texas Longhorn cattle. STLA established a permanent Youth Scholarship Fund in 2006 and Central Life Sciences offered to help fund additional scholarships through STLA beginning in 2008.

To be awarded in May 2011, this year's Central Life Sciences Scholarships will include two (2) scholarships in the amount of $750 each. The 2011 scholarship winners will be selected from the pool of qualified applicants for the other two 2011 STLA Youth Scholarships. No additional applications are required. All rules and restrictions concerning the Kids & Horns Scholarship and the Breeders of Tomorrow Scholarship will apply for these CLS Scholarships.

Central Life Sciences/Altosid IGR Feed-Thru was first incorporated in 1949 in Texas. Over the years, Altosid IGR Feed-Thru products have helped cattle raisers keep their herds free from the misery of biting horn flies. There are a number of cattle supplements containing Altosid IGR Feed-Thru that may be administered on a free choice basis. Altosid IGR Feed-Thru controls horn flies by interrupting their life cycle, rather than through direct toxicity. The product exhibits a wide margin of safety and delivers no acute handling hazard by any exposure route. Altosid IGR Feed-Thru does not disrupt cattle nutrition or dung composition during the digestive process and does not harm any beneficial insects.

The South Texas Longhorn Association is grateful for the continued support that is given to the STLA Youth Scholarship Program by its members and other Texas Longhorn enthusiasts. We are especially thankful for the continued partnership with Central Life Sciences to add to our educational scholarship awards each year.

Applications for STLA Scholarships will be accepted beginning February 1, 2011 and must be returned (postmarked) to STLA by April 15, 2011.
