Colorado 4H Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Colorado State University
Introduction
Each year, Colorado 4‑H together with the Colorado 4‑H Foundation provides scholarship support to help members further their education and career objectives. These awards honor the commitment, leadership, and accomplishments youth have shown through 4‑H involvement.
Review and Timeline
A statewide panel composed of 4‑H professionals and volunteer reviewers evaluates all scholarship applications. The application period opens each winter, and recipients are notified by email in late spring.
How the Application Portal Works
This site uses a single general application that will automatically identify scholarships for which you qualify based on your responses. Complete every required question carefully so you are matched to all appropriate opportunities. Note: some scholarships are not part of the automatic matching process and require a separate application — read each opportunity’s description to determine whether you should apply directly.
