Indiana 4-H Foundation Scholarships

In partnership with Purdue Extension, the Indiana 4-H Foundation awards more than $150,000 in scholarships annually to around 250 Indiana 4-H members through one shared application. The Foundation Senior Year Scholarship targets members in their senior year of high school and is judged on their overall 4-H record (over 200 awarded each year), while separate Accomplishment Scholarships (43 awarded in 2025) recognize achievement in specific project areas for members in grades 10-12 through the year after graduation. The application includes written responses, a resume, and a life-skills reflection essay.
