Congratulations to Sofia Helen Monical, Bradley Gribas, and Bailey Ham, recipients of this year’s Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation scholarships!
The Foundation’s scholarship is awarded to local high school students who exhibit in the Fair, maintain a specific grade point average, and express how their participation at the Fair has influenced their life and how it will be beneficial to them in the future.
A committee of Foundation directors interviewed the applicants and selected these wonderful young people to receive the 2022 scholarships. The Fairgrounds Foundation committee was very impressed with the recipients, finding them mature, outstanding individuals with a passion for their future endeavors.
Sofia will be a graduate of Nevada Union High School. Sofia plans to attend NCTI in the fall to obtain her EMT certification and aspires to pursue a nursing degree at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Bradley will also be graduating from Nevada Union High School and plans to attend Yuba College Fire Academy next year.
Bailey will be graduating from Bear River High School and is the recipient of the Nancy Garcia Memorial Scholarship. Nancy Garcia was a great supporter of the Fair and the scholarship was developed by her friends to honor her impressive contributions to our community. Bailey aspires to be a veterinarian or an agriculture teacher.
Congratulations scholarship recipients!!
