Vance Uden Memorial Angus Scholarship Fund

Angus Foundation

Vance Uden (1940-2009) purchased his first Angus heifer at age 12. From then on through his teenage years, he faithfully waited by the mailbox for his Angus Journal. Vance graduated from the University of Nebraska with a B.S. in Animal Science. While in college, he was on the livestock judging team. Vance, his wife Connie, and their two sons Ty and Dru, built the widely respected TC Ranch producing numerous well-known Angus sires. For Vance, TC stood for Total Commitment. Vance was a respected cattle judge for many breeds and had judged all the major shows. He was a strong supporter of youth and guided many to their start in the Angus business. He had a love of God, love of family, love of country and love of Angus. Angus youth across the United States meeting the qualifications for the Angus Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship Program will be eligible for consideration. Recipients may also receive other scholarships from the Angus Foundation or local, state, regional and national Angus-related entities. Continuing students majoring in animal science or agribusiness with plans to return to production agriculture will be given first preference.
