The NYSAAF and NYSSA offer an annual scholarship program which is available to students who currently are (or have previously been) active in a fair that is a member of the NYSAAF or the NYSSA and who plan to attend (or already attend) college in pursuit of a degree. The fair where the student has been active or the NYSSA must endorse their application and will submit it for them. Students who have been active in their local fairs and who intend to pursue or who are pursuing a degree are eligible to apply. Application is open to all applicants regardless of your field of study. However, additional consideration may be given to those applicants pursuing a degree in a field related to agriculture, fair management or the outdoor amusement business. All are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be in their senior year of high school in New York State or be already attending college and planning to pursue or already pursuing a degree at an accredited institution of higher learning. Students must submit their complete application by the second Friday in April. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
