California’s table grape growers recently awarded scholarships to seven students in grape growing regions of the state.

All recipients will be attending California universities or community colleges.

Four field worker scholarships were awarded: three for $25,000 for four years of university study and one for $14,500 for study at a combination of community college and university. Recipients may study any field. To qualify, the applicant or parent or guardian must work in the California table grape harvest.

Three agricultural scholarships were awarded as well: each for $25,000 for four years of university study in an agriculturally related field.

Since 1985, California table grape growers have awarded nearly 170 scholarships to help students attend college.

A full list of 2021 scholarship winners is available at the California Table Grape Commission’s website.
