ELKHART COUNTY — It’s never too early to be thinking about college scholarship. Purdue Extension in Elkhart County is inviting all our 4-H members who are in 10th-12th grade to a scholarship workshop. The workshops will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15, and Tuesday, Jan. 12, in Ag Hall on the Elkhart County Fairgrounds in Goshen.

Both workshops will contain the same information and last about an hour. Attendance is encouraged to at least one. We will be discussing the scholarships available to 4-H members, tips for completing applications, and when applications are due. The scholarship applications have been updated and a new process is being used this year than in previous years.

4-H members in 10th and 11th grade can apply for the 4-H Accomplishment scholarship.  12th graders qualify for the Accomplishment and other scholarships. Most scholarships applications are due by Jan. 15. Application packets will be distributed at the meeting and can be found online. 

Call the Purdue Extension Elkhart County office at (574) 533-0554 with your questions.
