Lake County >> The Lake County Farm Bureau (LCFB) Scholarship Committee announced that the scholarship application period for 2016 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. The scholarships are awarded annually and are based upon academic achievement, career goals, extracurricular activities, leadership skills and a commitment to study agriculture.
