North Dakota 4-H Foundation Scholarships

The ND 4-H Foundation sponsors several college scholarships to help current and former 4-H members with higher education. Applications are due March 1. See scholarship information and apply now.

The North Dakota 4-H Foundation is a 501(c)3 that raises funds to support 4-H youth programs across the state. Thanks to generous financial support from individuals, organizations and foundations, 4-H programs further youth leadership development, education, research and scholarships.

Becky Peterson, ND 4-H Foundation Board Member

“I support ND 4-H because 4-H programs create future leaders for our rural communities. 4-H programming and camps teach leadership and communication skills in a fun and interactive environment.”
