Inaugural “OAAS 175th - Central Canada Exhibition Association Scholarship“ awarded to four Ontario students involved in their local agricultural societies
Stirling, ON (October 18, 2022): The Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) is pleased to announce the awarding of the inaugural OAAS 175th Central Canada Exhibition Scholarships.
Congratulations to Patrick Duffin (Thorndale), Hailey Marsh (Forest), Miria Pelletier (Moore) and Jocelyn Taylor (Metcalfe).
The launch of the “OAAS 175th - Central Canada Exhibition Association Scholarship“ took place at the Official Opening of the 2022 Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) Convention, in February. The OAAS, in partnership with the Central Canada Exhibition Association (CCEA), created a scholarship program recognizing youth who have been actively involved in their home agricultural societies and fairs.
Twenty (20) applications from eleven (11) districts throughout Ontario were received for the inaugural year. Evaluation criteria for the scholarship included local agricultural society, community and school involvement, letters of reference, proof of post-secondary enrollment and an essay outlining “their future plans for contributing as a volunteer within their current or future community.” 
The four scholarship winners will be invited to and recognized at the 2023 Ontario Association of Agricultural Society Convention, on February 16-18, 2023.
