Delaware 4-H offers $2,500 in scholarships 4:53 p.m., Feb. 6, 2007--The Delaware 4-H Foundation is making available $2,500 to support one or more college scholarships. The foundation is a nonprofit organization formed to manage private funds in support of the 4-H youth development program. The Delaware 4-H Foundation Scholarship is open to youth who have completed five years in 4-H, with at least three of those years in the Delaware 4-H program. Current college students, as well as college-bound high school seniors, are eligible to apply. “Delaware 4-H encourages young people to pursue education and training beyond high school,” Joy Sparks, state 4-H program coordinator, said. “That's why I am so pleased that the 4-H foundation offers this scholarship as a way to recognize 4-Hers who are now training to take their place as the leaders of tomorrow.” Scholarship winners will be selected on the basis of their 4-H projects and activities, community involvement and extracurricular activities. The scholarship will be presented at the state 4-H awards celebration, to be held in July at the Delaware State Fair in Harrington. For more information or to receive a scholarship application, log on to [http://ag.udel.edu/extension/4h] or call (302) 831-2501. The application deadline is May 1. |
