HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you have enrolled in an accredited college, university or trade program, the earnings will be paid directly to your student account at your educational institution. To access scholarship funds after enrolling in a school, you will complete the Scholarship Payment Request Form and submit the form to the school’s registrar’s office. The registrar’s office will then forward the request to the State Fair of Virginia for payment.
Scholarships not used by your 24th birthday will revert from your name back into the State Fair of Virginia Scholarship Fund. You may not request that funds be transferred to another student.
