Harwinton Fair
Scholarship
The Harwinton Agricultural Society, Inc. offers two scholarships to all students active in the Harwinton Fair without discrimination as to race, color or creed.
Applicants must be residents of Connecticut and enrolled at an accredited institution of higher learning. The two scholarships of $1,000.00 each will be awarded annually to a graduating high school senior or a current college student. One scholarship will be awarded to a student pursuing a course of study in agriculture, home economics, or a related field in the next academic year. The other scholarship will be awarded to a student pursuing a course of study in any field during the next academic year.
The selection committee will consider the following factors:
- Fair participation is 35%
- Scholastic standing is 30%
- Citizenship & leadership is 20%
- Financial need is 15%
You can download the application form here, or pick one up at the Guidance Offices of area high schools. Also, our fair secretary, Lisa Shimels, can be contacted for an application form. The deadline is set each year for some time May.
Students may apply each year and are eligible even if they were past recipients of a scholarship.
