4-H EXTENSION CORNER
Investing in Tomorrow In 2019, the Alabama 4-H Foundation Board established a scholarship program to honor 4-H students for both their exceptional accomplishments and their hard work. In 2021, the 4-H Foundation has continued its investment in tomorrow by awarding $1,000 scholarships to 36 outstanding 4-H seniors and one $1500 scholarship to Auburn University. To qualify, applicants submitted their 4-H story, resume and a recommendation letter. No scholastic GPA or standardized testing scores were considered in the selections. Instead, the selection committee chose 4-H’ers based on their 4-H involvement and previous participation.
