The Friends of the California State Fair Scholarship Program is now accepting scholarship applications for the 2018 - 2019 academic year.
The program offers 14 categories of scholarships ranging from $1,000 - $2,500 each with different eligibility requirements. Categories include: agriculture, art, academic excellence, business, culinary/hospitality/event management, education, international relations, trade school, viticulture and enology.
Applicants may apply for only one scholarship from among the 14 categories per year. Each applicant will be evaluated based on academics, community service, quality of essay and recommendation. Top scholarship winners in select categories may be invited to compete for the $5,000 Ironstone Concours Foundation Scholarship. Scholarships are not renewable, but students may reapply each year as long as they continue to be eligibile.
