The Lake County Farm Bureau (LCFB) Scholarship Committee is proud to announce that the scholarship application period for 2017 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.
Eligible students must be a resident of Lake County who are enrolled or plan to enroll in a college or vocational school during the 2017/2018 year. To apply for the LCFB scholarship, students must complete an application, provide transcripts from each school attended and include two current and dated letters of recommendation. The entire packet must be received by LCFB on or before April 15th to be considered by the Scholarship Committee.
Applications are available at Lake County Farm Bureau’s website www.lakecofb.com and at the office located at 65 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport. Students can also get an application by contacting their local high school counselor or through the Mendocino College scholarship webpage.
