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 1^st 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 23^rd at 11:59 PM, they will be disqualified from moving to the next round.

IMPORTANT DATES:

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

Tuesday, March 23^rd 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 15^th 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!

Heart O' Texas Fair and Rodeo AG Video Contest

I hope you are all staying safe and well during this time. With the CDE season coming to a screeching halt without warning, we were upset we weren’t able to host our annual contest. With that being said, we have created an opportunity for students/club members to get involved in the current situation of the industry and make their voice heard in a video to win scholarship money and prizes.

 

The topic for the video is, “Why is the agricultural industry important in today’s global situation?” We want to hear from the next generation of agriculturalists and give them the opportunity to win some prizes and scholarship money. Here is the link with full instructions and the paperwork they will need in order to participate in this contest: https://www.hotfair.com/events/2020/video-contest
