By offering these scholarships, The Pensacola Interstate Fair is committed to giving back to the community each and every year. Students can participate in the Fair from an early age through high school by entering something in the Fair, participating in FFA, 4-H, or some of the different booths that participate in the Fair. In high school, they can even volunteer in the AgVenture barn for ten hours. The more years of participation, the more points they will accrue. The $1000. Scholarships can help purchase computers or laptops, and books. We would highly encourage anyone who has kids or grandkids or neighbors to apply for these scholarships during their Senior year of high school and having participated in the Fair. The kids and the exhibits in the buildings are the real Fair. Hard work goes in to making this Fair very successful.
Congratulations to the students! But we need to also commend the TEACHERS of these students for helping them apply and go through the process. Without the teachers giving guidance to these students, most of these grants would not be awarded. Win, win for everyone involved!
Education is the pathway to future success and financial assistance is often needed.The Educational Grants provided by our local Pensacola Interstate Fair are an excellent example of community interaction. I commend the efforts of the students being supported by the Fair Board of Directors.
