2025 Richard (Dick) Byerly Scholarship
Northumberland County Fair is proud to award three scholarships in the memory of Richard Byerly:
One $500 Scholarship
One $250 Scholarship
One $100 Scholarship
Scholarship recipients will be notified by October 31, 2025. This is a one-time payment issued to the recipient, and an individual may receive the scholarship up to two times from the Northumberland County Fair.
The scholarships will be awarded in January 2026, and recipients are encouraged to be present to accept the scholarships.
Scholarship recipients will be determined based on review of application and response to questions. ln the event of needing to break a tie to determine the scholarship recipients, prioritization may be given to a field of study which supports the continuation of future fairs as Richard was a longtime member of the Northumberland County Fair Board. Richard’s passion was agriculture and he was an Ag teacher and FFA Advisor who proudly mentored countless students as they completed livestock production projects.
All ages are welcome to apply.
