State Fair Scholarship Program
The State Fair of Virginia awards scholarships through a variety
of youth competitions and educational programs offered during
the Fair. These scholarships recognize outstanding achievement,
leadership, and participation in agriculture and related fields.
Scholarship awards are held in an interest-bearing account by
the State Fair of Virginia until recipients enroll in an
accredited college, university, or trade program.
Once enrolled, scholarship funds are paid directly to the
student's educational institution. Recipients receive annual
updates regarding their scholarship balances, including earned
interest.
Scholarship funds not claimed before the recipient's
24th birthday revert to the State Fair of Virginia
Scholarship Fund.
