For many years, NCFH has invested in health center clinical, administrative, and ancillary disciplines staff through annual scholarships that are made possible by the sale of our commemorative artwork and posters. The purpose of the scholarships is to assist health center staff to pursue their educational goals in health care and to contribute to the development of the health center workforce. Selection of recipients is based on demonstrated commitment to working in the agricultural worker community, choice of career path, and personal experience, with special recognition to those who have a family history as agricultural workers.
Since 1984, NCFH has awarded more than $220,000 in scholarships. These awards are made possible exclusively through funds raised as a result of sales of commemorative fine art prints and posters. This artwork commemorates and celebrates the dignity of the agricultural workers themselves. Produced in both a limited-edition fine art print and poster format, the original pieces of artwork are sold exclusively through NCFH.
Information about the 2027 scholarship opportunities, eligibility requirements, and application deadlines will be posted here when available.
