Indiana 4-H State Scholarship process has changed this year and wanted to let you know some details.
• The Indiana 4-H Foundation will be managing the scholarship program starting with the 2027 cycle.
• Applications will be submitted online through AwardSpring (in4h.awardspring.com) rather than as PDF uploads in 4HOnline.
• Senior scholarships and Accomplishment scholarships are now merged into a singular, universal application.
• The application portal opens November 15 and closes February 15. It will be linked from our website at in4h.org/scholarships.
• A 10-minute video tutorial of the scholarship portal and application is shared here: https://youtu.be/piQXFHaAPfc
Look for email and letters with more details.
