FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A big reward at the Big Fresno Fair Wednesday night for students who have kept their grades up.

The grandstands were full of high school and middle schoolers as they anxiously listened for their name to be called. The 4.0 and Above program raffled away nearly $80,000 in scholarships for Fresno County students who all maintained a 4.0 or higher grade point average.

Eighth graders through seniors had a chance to win everything from iPads, laptops, and Visa gift cards.

The grand prize winner, Isaac Blanco a Hoover High sophomore, took home a brand new 2016 Toyota Corolla.

Two students get to enjoy this year's prize that's because Blanco has a twin brother. He said the next step is getting his driver's license.
