Scholarship Program

The W.C. Fair Board implemented a Scholarship Program in 2013. This program was established to show the youth of our county the value of being involved in their community. Providing scholarship funds as a token of appreciation for their involvement with the fair is one way we are able to acknowledge their service and show them how much they are appreciated by the Board.

In memory and in honor of "Mr. Bill" Veevers, the Fair Board initiated an additional new scholarship in 2022 to be provided annually to the most outstanding applicant who exemplifies community service. Mr. Bill served as Facilities & Logistics Chair from the fairs return in 2005 until his passing in October after the August, 2021 fair. This is a one (1) year scholarship of $2,500.

To date we have awarded $63,050 in scholarship funds.

Purpose:

To help deserving Williamson County students pursue undergraduate studies.

The Award:

The Williamson County Fair will award two (2) or more one (1) year scholarships, with the total monies not to exceed $4,000 (paid after the recipient satisfactorily completes his/her 1st college semester and obtains at least a 2.75 GPA), and will be paid directly to the college or institution of higher learning in which students are enrolled.

2026 scholarship information will be available after the first of the year.

Congratulations to the 2025 Scholarship Winners
