Supporting students pursuing a career in agriculture is a top priority of the chapter.
2023 CWA Annual Scholarship Criteria
The Lake County Chapter of California Women for Agriculture is offering scholarships from $500 to $2500 to graduating high school seniors and college or vocational students (regardless of gender) who educational emphasis is related to agriculture and who will be attending a two- or four-year program as a full-time student. Scholarship recipients will receive their scholarship at the beginning of the first semester conditioned on proof of full-time enrollment. Selected students will be encouraged to attend a CWA Chapter meeting during the coming year to describe course of study and how the scholarship has assisted in the pursuit of educational and career goals.
Students must:
- • Be a resident of Lake County
- • Have a grade point average of 3.0 or greater
- • Fill out the requisite scholarship application packet, which acknowledges a pursuit of a career related to agriculture. Applications, which do not clearly convey the applicant’s pursuit of a career as it relates to agriculture, will not be considered.

The application packet must include:
- • The CWA signed application form
- • A letter of recommendation
