Scholarships are a direct result of fundraising efforts, membership dues, and donations. Each year funds are reviewed and the total value of scholarship monies to be awarded are determined based off available funds in accordance to our bylaws. The Cy-Woods FFA Booster Club has committed to rewarding a minimum of, but not limited to, FOUR (4) scholarships each school year as long as funds are available. Scholarships being awarded for the academic year are posted by January 1st. Not all applicants are guaranteed a scholarship.
