Howard County Fair Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Howard County Fair Association
The Howard County Fair Association annually presents up to six scholarships, each worth $2,000, to eligible candidates to help fund their education. The Association envisions that the beneficiaries of these scholarships will eventually come back to contribute to the fair as volunteers.
