Cougar Cookers

ar Cookers awards four one-year scholarships in the amount of $3,000 each ($1,500 / semester). The award will be made to a student leader who has a proven commitment of leadership to the Frontier Fiesta Association and continues to maintain active involvement with Frontier Fiesta during their receipt of the award. The Cougar Cookers have created a Permanent Endowment Fund for general scholastic purposes at the University. Cougar Pride provides scholastic funding for the University's student athletes. The Cougar Cookers' participation in the Cook-Off has many far reaching benefits for the University of Houston and its students. Participation in the Cook-Off not only gives the University a prestigious presence in the city's largest event but also gives a more tangible benefit to prospective UH students. Each year hundreds of University of Houston students receive a total of nearly $200,000 in scholarship money from the Rodeo. By participating in the Cook-Off, we can demonstrate our appreciation for this support. This event also provides a perfect opportunity to show our support for our own premier event and Cook-Off at the University of Houston -- Frontier Fiesta.
