This scholarship is funded by Centerville 4-H, East County 4-H, Groveton 4-H, Trinity 4-H and the 4-H Adult Leaders. The scholarship is awarded to a member who is an active member of 4-H and has been involved in a wide variety of 4-H programs and projects. Involvement in school related extra extracurricular activities and community services activities are also considered.
