LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Farm Bureau Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce that the scholarship application period for 2020 is open.

The LCFB Scholarship Program was organized to give financial aid to Lake County students who show a desire to pursue a career in the agricultural industry.
