Rana Deeba Receives Houston Rodeo Scholarship

2013 Feb 28

Rana Deeba, a University of Houston (UH) hotel and restaurant management major from Houston, Texas, is the recipient of a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) scholarship. This year alone, UH students were awarded more than $800,000 in scholarships. By next year, rodeo officials hope to increase that amount to $1 million.

The HLSR is a longtime supporter of students and a longtime partner with the University of Houston. The first HLSR scholarship was awarded to a UH student in 1987. Since then, more than 1,455 UH students, from the main campus and its sister campuses, have received nearly $14 million in scholarships, easing the financial stress of going to college so students can focus on their futures.
