Dear 4-H Members and Families,
The Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship Applications are now OPEN! I have attached the Rules & Guidelines as well as a FAQ for using the Scholarship Portal.
Scholarship Application – APPLY HERE
The application is also linked on our website:
https://texas4hfoundation.org/types-of-scholarships/
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Deadline to Apply: February 15th at 11:59 PM – We will not accept any applications after the deadline.
Academic Verification: The applicant is required and responsible for working with their school administrator or counselor to submit an academic verification on their behalf. This MUST be received before the deadline as it is part of their application. It is important that the applicant verify that this has been done before the deadline.
CEA Verification: A list of applicants and link to submit the CEA Verification will be sent to agents after the application deadline.
FAFSA: Each applicant is required to submit their Estimated Family Contribution provided through their FAFSA application. This should be done before mid-December to be able to have it to submit the scholarship application.
Transcripts: Applicant’s transcripts MUST show grades through December 2022. Applicants should not submit applications before grades have been updated to their transcripts.
Interviews: Selected applicants will be required to attend interviews in College Station. Interviews will be held April 28th – 30th. There will be a self-sign up for time spots in early April.
Scholarship Banquets: Recipients will be required to attend their scholarship banquet. Scholarship Banquets will be held during the 2023 Texas 4-H Roundup June 6th – 8th.
**NEW** – Baccalaureate applications are now open to ALL 4-H Seniors no matter their quartile ranking. They must meet all other requirements but being in the top half of their class is no longer a requirement to apply. Some donors do have restrictions based on quartile ranking and those will still be honored but there are other scholarships that do not have quartile ranking restrictions.
Agent Collaboration Tool: Applicants are able to invite Agents to view their applications. This has to be initiated by the applicant through their application. There is a “Collaborate” button in the top right corner of the application. They just need to enter in the Agent’s email address. Agent’s will receive an email stating they have been invited to collaborate.
We look forward to supporting more of our deserving Texas 4-H youth! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
