Each 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. Youth can apply for a scholarship through the event registration process (each event scholarship process is noted below). This information will only be shared with the event planners.

Each youth should submit one form per program they are participating in. Staff will do their best to assess each request and make a determination on the amount awarded when the scholarships are reviewed.
