Todd Anderson Memorial Rodeo Scholarship

Todd Anderson, for whom the CWU Todd Anderson Memorial Rodeo is dedicated, was a 22 year old Central Washington University business administration student from Tukwila, Washington. Todd lost his life in a tragic house fire at his Ellensburg residence in January of 2003. He was in his fourth year as a member of the CWU Rodeo Club and was serving as the club’s president at the time of his death. He also rode bulls and even through a tough knee surgery his freshman year kept him from competing, he continued to practice with and assist his teammates. A scholarship was created in the memory of this exemplary man. Applications are accepted between 10/1 and 2/1 each year. Any member of the CWU Rodeo Club is eligible to apply, for specific requirements and criteria see the application. Click here for the CWU Todd Anderson Memorial Scholarship.
