LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lake County Chapter of California Women for Agriculture is once again offering scholarships for graduating high school seniors and college or vocational students.

Scholarship awards may range between $500 and $2,500 for students pursuing a degree that is related to agriculture and planning to attend a two- or four-year program, as a full-time student.  

Applicants should be residents of Lake County and have a grade point average of 3.0 or greater.

They must fill out the requisite scholarship application packet, which acknowledges a pursuit of a career related to agriculture. Applications which do not clearly convey the applicant’s pursuit of a career as it relates to agriculture will not be considered.

The application packet must include the CWA signed application form, a letter of recommendation and a current or most recent transcript.

Applicants must be willing to participate in an interview with the CWA Scholarship Committee if requested.

Selected students will be encouraged to attend a CWA Chapter meeting during the coming year to describe the course of study and how the scholarship has assisted in the pursuit of educational and career goals.

Recipients will receive their scholarship at the beginning of the first semester conditioned on proof of full-time enrollment. 

Application materials must be received by CWA on or before April 15. Applications without all required material or applications received late will not be considered.

Please send completed application material to California Women for Agriculture Lake County Chapter, P.O. Box 279, Finley, CA 95435. Please indicate “Scholarship Application” on the envelope.
