JOHN H. AND HILDA SIMPSON SCHOLARSHIP

John was born on the family homestead in Colorado, where he attended grade school and high school. After attending the University of Colorado – Boulder, he entered the ranching profession in Wyoming. Beginning in 1932, the key to Simpson’s operation was a keen interest in livestock grazing. This interest was duly noted when the Simpsons received the Grazing Management Award. John served on the boards of many organizations such as ASCD, SCS, and the Gillette Co-op. John and Hilda contributed greatly to the University of Wyoming as did their five children, all of whom attended the University of Wyoming.
