Greetings!
The Ramona Junior Fair is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation that provides scholarship for outstanding 4-H, FFA, and Grange members who participate in activities and events relating to the Ramona Junior Fair. To assist you in your academic and personal advancement, the Ramona Junior Fair and its supporters will be awarding several scholarships (funds permitting and applications warranting) to qualified 4-H, FFA, and Grange students.

The applicant must be a graduating senior or have graduated in the past year and cannot have received a Ramona Junior Fair Scholarship in the past. Recipients must be members in good standing in 4-H, FFA, or Grange. These students should have exhibited in the Ramona Junior Fair for at least 2 years, and have actively contributed to the success of the fair. Each applicant must have plans to further their education by attending a two- or four-year college and/or vocational/trade school at any institution of higher learning, or pursue a career in the military.

Qualified applicants are those students who have completed and submitted an online application. Complete applications consist of: A Completed Online Ramona Junior Fair Scholarship Form, Two Letters of Recommendation (as listed below) uploaded by recommender, and an Official Transcript from high school uploaded by the applicant.

The applicant must submit two separate letters of recommendation: one letter of recommendation from a teacher or administrator and one letter of recommendation from an FFA, Grange, or 4-H leader or advisor. Applicants may not submit letters of recommendation written by family members.

Completed online applications, and an official transcript must be digitally submitted by 11:59 PM on March 16, 2025. Letters of Recommendation must be submitted by 11:59 PM on March 19, 2025.

Applications will be reviewed for completion prior to the interviews held by the Scholarship Committee. Attire for the interview shall be the uniform representing the applicant’s club or chapter. Record books are welcome at the interview, but in no way will affect eligibility for a scholarship. Interviews will be held between the dates of April 8th-10th and April 15th-18th, 2025. 

Scholarship recipients must be present in uniform at the beginning of the Ramona Junior Fair Livestock Auction, scheduled for August 2, 2025, and are expected to be active in fair and auction activities such as running paperwork to buyers.
