4-H Scholarships

Every year Prince Edward Island 4-H Council has the opportunity to
award some of our outstanding senior members with 4-H Scholarships to assist
with their post-secondary education. Awarding these scholarships is always a
very difficult task as all applicants consistently demonstrate outstanding
levels of leadership with the 4-H program and their communities.
Scholarship application packages are mailed out in January of each year and
the deadline for applications is April 15 of the current year. Interviews will
take place in mid May.
