Through gifts secured by The Washington 4-H Foundation, the State 4-H Office is able to provide financial assistance which will allow youth to attend the 2009 4-H Summer Teen Conference. A limited number of partial scholarships are available for those with financial need.
Financial assistance will be allotted on an “as needed and available” basis and is not transferable. Delegates may request up to $75 of financial aid. Financial aid selections are based on:
- Income of the family and family size
- Contribution to the diversity of the 4-H State Leadership Conference (e.g. participation in different delivery modes, those requiring special needs, etc.)
- Extenuating circumstances such as the death of a parent, parental unemployment, etc.
- Those demonstrating an active interest in developing and utilizing skills learned after the conference
- Expected transportation costs to the campus hosting the conference based on geographic distance
Upon returning from the conference, all youth receiving financial aid must complete the following:
- A written letter of thanks to the 4-H Foundation.
- Include a brief summary describing how the conference experience impacted the delegate and what actions were taken after the conference. This will be used to compile a post-conference report to the donor outlining how their gift was utilized, and will help to ensure future donations.
Incomplete applications will not be considered. Complete applications must consist of both pages of the application. Individuals and their counties will receive notification of funding by June 8.
Please mark “Confidential” and fax or mail postmarked no later than June 1, 2009 to:
