June 14th – Napa, CA–The Napa County Farm Bureau Foundation is pleased to announce its 2023 scholarship recipients for graduating high school seniors in Napa County who are pursuing college study of agriculture.
This year’s recipients are all talented, inspiring students who have a passion for agriculture. The scholarship fund was created by the family of Aldo Delfino, the late Ag Commissioner of Napa County, who valued both the opportunity to attend college and the opportunity to return to Napa County and serve the community and local agriculture. The Aldo Delfino Scholarship was established upon the death of Aldo in 1981 for the purpose of awarding scholarships, in his name, to local students planning to attend college and study some form of agriculture. The Napa County Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers also helped raise funds towards this year’s scholarships.
The scholarship winners for the high school class of 2022 are: (Left-Right)

“We’re extremely proud of this year’s scholarship recipients and what they have academically accomplished,” said Ryan Klobas, CEO of the Napa County Farm Bureau. “Not only does the Farm Bureau represent the current generation of agricultural professionals in Napa County, but we also ensure the next successful generation of ag professionals and these scholarships are a major way we accomplish that goal. This year’s scholarship recipients represent an inspirational group of students with bright futures and we’re looking forward to great things from them.”
