Kansas 4-H Vanier Scholarship Program
The Vanier Family Scholarship Program was established to enhance the strong leadership skills already exhibited by 4-H members. This program invests in the educational endeavors of young people who have overcome challenges in their lives to pursue their educational goals. Scholarship recipients will be recognized leaders and role models within their home communities who have balanced “greater than usual” demands and contributed in positive ways as a 4-H member and citizen.
Students will receive scholarships in the amount of $7,000/year for use at community or technical institutions and $12,000/year for use at baccalaureate institutions. Recipients will receive half of the scholarship for the fall semester and the remaining half in the spring. They will also be encouraged to participate in up to two leadership development experiences throughout the 2016-17 academic year.
ELIGIBILITY:
· Current or former Kansas 4-H member for 3 or more years
· Extensive 4-H leadership at the local and county levels and/or Key Award winner
· Plans to enroll full-time in an accredited post-secondary institution as an undergraduate student for the 2016-17 academic year
· Demonstrated problem-solving and leadership capabilities
Deadline for applications is July 15, 2016. Additional information can be found at http://www.kansas4-h.org/resources/4-h-library/awards-and-recognition/Vanier-Family-Scholarship.html.
