Completed applications and supplemental information must be electronically submitted no later than midnight on June 1, 2025. Recipients of the scholarships will be recognized at special ceremonies during the 2025 Maryland State Fair, slated to begin this August.
“Since its inception in 1879, agriculture education has been one of the Maryland State Fair’s top priorities,” Maryland State Fair General Manager Andy Cashman said.
“Our competitive scholarships highlight and reward the accomplishments of youth, help them with their educational pursuits, and promote the importance of agriculture to our state and our world.”
The F. Grove Miller Maryland State Fair Memorial $2,000 scholarships recognize the importance of education and participation in the Maryland State Fair. Applicants must be permanent residents of Maryland who have participated in previous years at the Maryland State Fair.
They must be enrolled, and entering their freshman through senior year, in a four-year college, post-secondary college or trade school. Recipients will be selected based on their involvement in the Maryland State Fair, academic performance, leadership qualities, future goals, and financial need.
Four winners will be selected and will each receive $2,000 in scholarship funds. The scholarships will be presented during the 4-H/FFA Judging Award Program at the 2025 Maryland State Fair.
The 4-H and FFA programs are youth organizations centered around agricultural education and leadership development.
