Today, WAEF invests in student achievement, promoting education and support for university, technical and vocational training. WAEF nurtures a network of grass-roots local community services offering ESL programs, citizenship outreach, and Farmworker Family support. WAEF connects the values of tree fruit industry members with good works in the community. This is a milestone year for the tree fruit industry: over One Million Dollars in scholarship awards. More than 200 young men and women shared in the $1,060,000 awarded in WAEF scholarships. In 2016 WAEF expanded efforts to identify and assist students pursuing a technical/vocational education aligned with work in the tree fruit industry. Volunteering is up in 2016: industry member support increased for WAEF student programs and industry charities through committee work, board service and hours spent mentoring and encouraging students. made in made in u s a u s a made in u s a 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 # of Awards WAEF Scholarship History Value approximate in 1000s $18,000 Awards 8 Scholarships Over A Million Dollars Scholarship Awards Growing together
