In our continuing commitment to promote awareness and education, the Salinas Valley Chapter of California Women for Agriculture (CWA) offers two scholarship programs for women in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties. There is no age restriction for either of these scholarships, nor is either based upon financial need. Scholarships range from $500 to $2,000.
