scholarship funds to students in post-secondary education.
The Foundation was established in honour of the late Keith
Gilmore, editor and publisher for over 30 years of The Canadian
Hereford Digest, in recognition of his contribution to the
Hereford cattle breed, agricultural journalism and the beef
cattle industry.

degree programs, undergraduate degree programs and recognized
diploma programs. The following applies to our graduate students:
