4-H Achievement Applications

DUE FRIDAY, December 1, 2023

It’s that time of year to REFLECT, REVIEW, and REWARD yourself for all the hard work you’ve put into your 4-H year! That means we want to hear all about it, so we’re encouraging you to fill out the Achievement Applications!

AWARD APPLICATIONS DUE: Friday, December 1, 2023

The deadline for this year's 2023 Burt County Achievement Applications is Friday, December 1, 2023! We are doing an earlier deadline so that Seniors have a chance to revise before the STATE DEADLINE of January 5! 

Step 1: Write your story (add pictures if you want) No My Year in Burt County! Just put all the things you participated into your Achievement Application!

Step 2: Fill out County Award Sheet

Step 3: Print or email to stacey.keys@unl.edu

Available Achievement Applications & Forms (*NOTE AGES – they’re a bit different)


What are Achievement Applications?

They are somewhat similar to the previous 4-H Story section. But we encourage you to be creative and use your strengths to capture your 4-H experience. Please read the guidelines at the beginning of the form, as they give you a good framework to base your application off of. But these can truly be whatever you want them to be! Express yourself and your 4-H experience! We want to hear your 4-H story!

Seniors – If you are wanting to apply for the State Level beyond County, make sure you carefully read through the guidelines of what is required and the ages that are eligible.

If possible we would love these to be done digitally. So simply fill out the forms and email them back to stacey.keys@unl.edu.  Because this can be done digitally there is no need for a special binder or tabs.

County Awards: You will be allowed to pick 3 County Awards & any Addition Awards to apply for. You will only be allowed to win the county award once per age division. If you are applying for a county award, I would probably mention something about it in your application, as this is the only information the judges will have.


Clover Kids are not required to do an Achievement Application but we have a similar version that they are more than welcome to fill out for the experience and practice.

If you have ANY questions, please let us know! We simply want to celebrate your hard work!
