Statewide ScholarshipsEach year, the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation provides a sum of money to the State 4-H Office for needs-based scholarships for youth to participate in statewide Educational Experiences. Wisconsin 4-H believes that cost should not be a barrier to program participation. Each youth should submit one form per program they are participating in. You can find full information on the scholarship along with the form here: https://4h.extension.wisc.edu/opportunities/statewide-events-and-opportunities/statewide-scholarships/. Staff will do their best to assess each request and make a determination on the amount awarded when the scholarships are reviewed. This scholarship fund is available to any youth who is attending one of our Statewide Educational Experiences.
