The Society also administers a Scholarship Program. Scholarships are awarded to students who participate in the Erie County Fair and are enrolled in an accredited college. Students pursuing studies in the fields of agriculture, agri-business, ecology and environmental technology, family and consumer sciences, horticulture, forestry and natural resources, veterinary medicine or veterinarian technology are encouraged to apply as well as those with other career choices.

Because of your interest in the Fair, we know you are interested in continuing to build for the future. The Society’s Endowment Fund was established to have financial reserves in order to create resources necessary to carry on the objectives of the Fair. These funds are perpetuated through tax-deductible donations and can be made at any time. Your assistance is always welcome.

Thank you for your interest. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Society at 716-649-3900.
For questions about the scholarship program, please contact the Fairgrounds Main Office 716-649-3900.
