Our organization's goal is to assist college juniors or seniors in the 2008/2009 academic school year who have graduated from a Tehama County High School, in their pursuit of a degree in the field of agriculture. Applicants may apply their sophomore and/or junior year.

In order to be considered for these scholarships students must take at least 12 units of courses each semester of their junior and senior year. The applications will be judged on completeness, neatness, academic achievement, letters of recommendation, community involvement, work experience, area of study, and career goals.

All of the following items must be received by the Dairyville Community Club, Inc. Scholarship Committee postmarked on or before the April 1, 2008 deadline for consideration:

1. The two page Upper-Division Agricultural Studies Scholarship Application

2. A copy of your college transcripts indicating all college work completed to date and a current course of study.

3. Two letters of recommendation that give information about your character, ability, and interest in the field of agriculture. One of these recommendations should come from a college instructor or advisor, and the other should be from someone that is not a family member. These recommendations can be submitted with the other application materials or can be mailed directly to the committee by the person making the recommendation, but either way, they must be postmarked on or before the April 1, 2008 deadline.

4. A one page essay which includes the following:
A. Autobiography
B. Your career plans following graduation

5. An essay, up to two pages in length, which includes the following:
A. In your opinion, what is the future of agriculture in Tehama County?
B. Select an important issue facing agriculture in Tehama County, and briefly outline a program that you might undertake to address that issue.

6. A Photograph of yourself to be used for a Scholarship display at the Dairyville Festival.

The Dairyville Community Club, Inc. will promptly notify all applicants of their decision following the April 1, 2008 postmarked deadline and upon review of all applications received.
