Fruitful Scholarship Opportunities from California Table Grape Growers

The California Table Grape Commission continues to invest in their communities by offering scholarship opportunities to students from California table grape growing regions. For 2027, California table grape growers are again offering three categories of scholarships.

Two scholarships are available to field workers and their families. The Field Worker Bridge Scholarship is a $14,500 scholarship for students who will attend two years at a community college and transfer to a four-year university. The Field Worker Scholarship is a $25,000 scholarship for students who will attend a four-year university.

High school graduates or graduating seniors, or their parent/legal guardian, must have been employed as a field worker in a California table grape vineyard during the 2026 harvest or plan to be employed during the 2027 season to be eligible for the Field Worker Scholarships.

The third scholarship is a $25,000 Agricultural Scholarship for students interested in a career in the California table grape industry and investing their undergraduate years of study in academic areas related to the industry. Eligible high school graduates or graduating seniors must pursue a four-year undergraduate degree in a field of study pertinent to table grapes and be residents of the Coachella or San Joaquin valleys.

Three scholarships for each category are available. Applicants for all scholarships must plan to attend a California college or university. The deadline to apply for all scholarships is Friday, Feb. 5, 2027.
