GCFA Scholarships
Scholarships for advanced education — the reason the fair exists.
Scholarships for advanced education
The purpose of the Fair Association is to encourage agricultural, horticultural and stock farming through the maintenance of public fairs and exhibits of stock and farm products. An integral part of that mission is awarding scholarships to deserving young men and women in our area.
Through this program we contribute to advanced education opportunities for selected youth in our area by granting scholarships to students enrolled in agricultural or livestock studies.

How payments work. One-half of each scholarship is paid during the first semester, with the remaining balance paid during the second semester after proof of class registration has been received. Scholarship funds must be claimed within one year of the award. Scholarships are presented during each recipient’s school awards program or ceremony.
