MISSOURI — College is expensive but 4-H can help. The Missouri 4-H Foundation offers college scholarships that help 4-H members pursue their educational dreams.

In 2022 thanks to generous donor support, the Missouri 4-H Foundation will offer over 60 college scholarships ($500 – $2,500/scholarship). 4-H’ers who are current high school seniors and former 4-Hers who are college students are eligible to apply.

• For sections 1 and 2 of the application, applicants will be asked to submit biographical data and financial need information using the online form.
• For sections 3–5 of the application, applicants will be asked to upload copies of their essays. Use plain white 8½ x 11-inch paper with 1-inch margins. Use 12-point Arial font and single-spaced layout. Please save and upload essays as PDF files.
