Honoring industry leaders

Memorial Scholarships & Grants

Special scholarships and grants managed by WAEF honor the visionary leaders and dedicated members that shaped the tree fruit industry. These award funds are established by family members, industry organizations, peers and friends of our former leaders.

The people behind the funds

Choose a name to read their story

Each fund carries a life, and most carry a specific purpose — a school, a valley, a field of study. The stories here are told by the families, colleagues and friends who established them.

Establish a fund

A memorial that keeps working

Families, companies and colleagues have been establishing these funds with WAEF for more than thirty years. A memorial fund sends a student to school every year, in the name of someone who spent their life in this industry.
