Devin Robinson captures Claude Mullins
Memorial Scholarship Award
The National High
School Rodeo Association
has announced that Devin
Robinson o f Heppner is
the 2011 recipient o f the
Claude Mullins Memorial
Scholarship Award. Robin
son was awarded $5,000 for
the honor, which is spon
sored by the National High
School Rodeo Foundation.
The namesake of
the scholarship, Claude
M ullins, is the founder
o f the NHSRA. M ullins
worked as a Texas educa
tor who was a big fan of
rodeo, and an even bigger
fan of the youth he worked
with almost every day. His
desire to create a collective
effort that could encourage
youth to embrace their love
of rodeo, while also placing.
an emphasis on their educa
tion and futures, led to the
creation of the NHSRA in
1949.
The M em o rial
Scholarship was established
in 2010 by the NHSR Foun
dation as a way to honor
Mullins and the tradition
of excellence that thrives
to this day.
Robinson was cho
sen as the best all-around
applicant from the entire
pool o f scholarship ap
plications at the National
High School Finals Rodeo,
held July 17-23 in G il
lette, Wyoming. Working
directly with the NHSRA,
the foundation awards ap
proximately half a million
dollars in scholarship aid
i each year.
