Scholarships
From the beginning, California's fresh grape farmers have recognized the importance of supporting the communities where they live and work. Fresh grape farmers throughout the state volunteer their time and service for associations, boards and charitable organizations. For 25 years, California's table grape growers have supported their workers and their communities with the nation's first worker-focused scholarship program.
The commission is now accepting applications for the 2012 California Table Grape Workers Scholarship program. Three $20,000 scholarships to any four-year California college or university and four $3,500 scholarships to any junior or community college, or trade school in California are available to table grape field workers and their children.
Applicants must be 2012 graduating high school seniors or high school graduates. To be eligible, the student must plan to attend a college or university in California. Please note that the two-year scholarships will not be awarded to those enrolled in or planning to attend a four-year program.
The application deadline is Friday, March 9, 2012. For more information, contact scholarship@grapesfromcalifornia.com.
