  2. The san joaquin junior livestock show and auction council (sjjsac) is proud to facilitate community-supported scholarships for our youth in san joaquin county. These scholarships are available to those students who meet the eligibility requirements to show at agfest (4-h, ffa, or registered independent), have completed an agriculture education scholarship application, and have entered and exhibited an agricultural project(s) for the current year of agfest. Once these three criteria are met, donors can then submit scholarships in the applicant's name and agfest will issue the total amount of donated funds in a check to the applicant. During 2024, 245 scholarships were awarded.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
