The SJFB Foundation for Agricultural Education hosts various scholarships for local students of all backgrounds studying for a career in agriculture. With selfless donations from people in our county, we are able to offer $50,000 in scholarships annually. Take a look at all of the scholarships we have below.
SJFB Foundation for Agricultural Education Grant Program was developed to support the San Joaquin County FFA Chapters, 4-H & Grange Clubs educational efforts. The 2025-26 grant application period has closed.
AgVenture is a program for San Joaquin County 3rd graders. Hosting nearly 11,000 students each year, AgVenture opens the agriculture world to these students, teachers, and parent chaperones. During these three events, students learn about the growing and processing of different commodities, they get to see and touch farm animals and experience farm equipment firsthand. With nearly 900 volunteers, SJFB and Foundation work to support this program by participating as volunteers, presenting, and assisting with the planning and coordination of these events. Please click on the AgVenture link to visit their website and be sure to check out the new videos Foundation has partnered on.
Each year, the SJFB Foundation for Agricultural Education hosts our annual Art Contest (Grades K–6) and Photo Contest (Grades 7–12), celebrating creativity and the rich agricultural heritage of San Joaquin County. Students are invited to showcase local agriculture through original artwork or photography aligned with this year’s theme, “Greatness Grows Here.” The 2026 contest deadline is Friday, April 17, 2026.
Winners receive cash prizes, and select entries may be featured in SJFB publications, on our website, or displayed at our office. For more information on these contests and other educational programs, please contact SJFB Staff.
Calling all San Joaquin County students have you ever had a question you wanted to ask about agriculture? Then this is for you! Send your questions to SJFB Staff and see if your question will be answered in this new program!
This organization wouldn’t be able to educate so many of our county’s students and teachers without donations. Your contribution is directly linked to us educating the next generation of agriculturalists in San Joaquin. Contact (209) 931-4931.
