2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship Updates

Attention Graduating Seniors we have some updates from the Texas 4-H Foundation and the Comal County AgriLife Office. 

Updates from the Texas 4-H Foundation:

It has come to our attention that semester schedules are behind due to the late start some schools faced due to COVID-19.  With this delay, some applicants will not have final 1st semester grades at the time of the deadline for the 2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship to satisfy the 3.5 year transcript requirement.

To help give some flexibility with this, we have decided to allow applicants to submit the transcript they have at the time of the deadline (11:59 PM Monday, February 15th).  Applications will move on to the judging portion and during that time (March) applicants can submit their final 3.5 year transcript.  If an applicant fails to submit their final 3.5 year transcript by Tuesday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM, they will be disqualified from moving to the next round.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Monday, February 15th at 11:59 PM – Deadline for the Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship – must submit the transcript they have at that time.

Tuesday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM – Deadline for any applicant needing to submit an updated transcript to reflect 3.5 years.  Applicants will need to have their counselor or school administrator email the updated transcript to Kelly.gideon@ag.tamu.edu

 ***IMPORTANT***  Anyone wishing to be considered for a 2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship MUST submit a complete application (with transcript that is available to the applicant) by the February 15th deadline.  NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for late applications.

 Updates From the County Office:

If you would like an agent to review your application, you must send them a collaboration request or drop off/email a hard copy of your application by January 31st.

To guarantee Victoria can sign the required verification form you must schedule to bring it by the office or email it to vioctoria.grissom@ag.tamu.edu no later than February 10th!
