SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES

Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program Opportunity Scholarships are awarded each year to applicants based on their 4-H experience, academic record and financial need (for scholarships for which it is a prescribed criterion). The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Opportunity Scholarship Program is conducted in coordination with the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program, the Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation, and Texas AgriLife Extension Service.

Approximately 170 academically-competitive scholarships will be awarded in the 2007 Texas 4-H Scholarship Program ranging in amounts from $1500 to $15,000 (amount established by donor). No scholarship recipient whose award is based on this application process will receive less than $1500 (may require receiving a combination of scholarships totaling $1500). The Texas 4-H Foundation seeks to ensure that each recipient receives the highest dollar amount of scholarship for which that recipient is eligible. For the majority of the total scholarships and scholarship funds available, participation in a livestock show is not a requirement for consideration for an Opportunity Scholarship.
