The 4-H program offers a lot of different awards to give youth and adults the incentive to keep "Making the Best, Better." The 4-H application is an organized presentation of what has been learned and accomplished in 4-H. Filling out an achievement application does take some work but when accurately and carefully assembled, it is a useful tool for determining progress and personal growth throughout the 4-H'ers career, and will serve as a resource when applying for college scholarships and creating your resume.
Don't miss out on extra college funds! Eligible 4-H members can apply to all of the following Buffalo County 4-H scholarships with one application. Please thoroughly read the application form as some of these scholarships require additional materials to be submitted, such as a reference letter, essay or interview. Applications, along with supporting materials, must be turned into the Buffalo County Extension office by 5 p.m.
