The Healdsburg Fair Board may elect to award scholarships longer than one year, and in an unlimited number from each category, at its sole discretion.

Applicants must be seniors and reside in the Healdsburg, Windsor, or Geyserville High School Districts and must be a member in good standing of a 4-H or FFA club in the above districts. The scholarship funds in each category will be awarded at the discretion of the scholarship committee.
