OZAUKEE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP

The mission of the Ozaukee County Agricultural Society (OCAS) is to promote agriculture in our community while also emphasizing the importance of hard work, education, family, and community service.
Each year, through a group of volunteers, the OCAS host the Ozaukee County Fair in Cedarburg, WI. The County Fair is very special to the Ozaukee County Community. The Fair provides a wonderful place for young and old alike to come together to highlight accomplishments and celebrate our community.

This year, multiple scholarships, up to $2,000 will be awarded to graduating seniors from high schools in Ozaukee County or the surrounding area.

 Important USPS Mailing / Postmark Information

(Please read carefully)

According to updated USPS guidelines, not all mail is automatically postmarked. Whether your mail gets a postmark depends on the type of postage used. If you want to guarantee your application is clearly postmarked on the date you mail it, you have a few reliable options:

• Bring your application to a USPS retail counter and request a same-day “hand-cancel” / manual postmark — that is, ask the clerk to stamp the envelope by hand rather than drop it in a mail-box or leave it in a batch.

• Use Certified Mail (or Registered Mail) — this provides a dated receipt stamped by USPS when you drop it off, which can act as proof of mailing date.

• Mail early — because of possible processing delays and depending on when your mail is collected or processed, relying on just dropping it in a mailbox close to the deadline could be risky.

By using one of these methods, you reduce the risk that processing delays or type of postage cause your application to be considered “postmarked after deadline.”
