The 21st Century Alumni Achievement Scholarship was created during the 4-H centennial year (2016) to recognize truly outstanding 4-H alumni who submit high-quality applications. This scholarship focuses on assisting those in their final years of college or working towards advanced degrees. The applicant must have been involved in a variety of 4-H programs and demonstrated positive character, citizenship, and leadership in 4-H and in their community. This scholarship honors alumni who, by example, encouraged others to join 4-H and helped others to develop their potentials and become more involved in 4-H. This scholarship can vary in amount of the award and is given when there is truly an outstanding applicant with a high-quality application packet.
