4-H offers a number of scholarships at the county and state level. Active 4-H members who are graduating seniors are eligible to apply.
STATE: The state offers approximately ten different scholarships. Youth may apply for any state scholarship for which they are eligible, using the same application form for all state scholarships.
To apply for a state 4-H scholarship, go to www.utah4-H.org and download the form. The scholarship application, portfolio, transcript, and letters of recommendation are due to the County 4-H Office by February 1st. Because this entire packet is sent to the state for judging, youth who are applying for county and state scholarships must submit a separate portfolio for each.
COUNTY: There are two Weber County 4-H scholarships. Graduating seniors active in any project area are eligible to apply for either or both of these scholarships. Youth must submit a SEPARATE PACKET (scholarship application, essay, portfolio, transcript, and letters of recommendation) for each application and send/deliver to the appropriate location by February 1st.
· Commitment to Agriculture Foundation / 4-H Scholarship- (PDF Fillable Application) Scholarship amount varies; scholarship can be used at any higher education institution. Must be postmarked no later than February 1st and mailed to: Melisa Griffith, Commitment to Agriculture Foundation, PO Box 565, Huntsville, UT 84317. PLEASE NOTE: This scholarship is DIFFERENT from the CTA/FFA Scholarship. It is possible for youths who are active in both 4-H and FFA to apply for both scholarships; however, they will need to submit TWO SEPARATE scholarship packets and participate in two interviews. The criteria for the two scholarship is also different. You can get the CTA/FFA scholarship at www.utahcta.org.
