The Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce Agri-Business Committee partners with Agriculture Future of America to award two scholarships to Martin County students entering a field of study in agriculture. Each recipient receives a scholarship and the opportunity to attend the AFA Leaders Conference.

To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, be a senior entering their freshman year in a 4 year college program and planning to pursue a career in food or agriculture. The Agri-Business committee meets to review the applications and interview the candidates. From this process, two scholarships are awarded each year.
