Cougar Cookers was formed to support the University of Houston and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Cougar Cookers is a 501(c)(3) organization supported by alumni and friends of the University of Houston. We participate in the Rodeo Cook-Off to show our appreciation for the support that is given to higher education by the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Participation in this event also provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase the University of Houston's own Texas style festival, Frontier Fiesta.

Cougar Cookers awards two 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.

Please explore our website to learn more about our organization and get involved by volunteering or donating.
