Montana 4-H Foundation Awards Nearly $40,000 In Scholarships

The Montana 4-H Foundation recently announced that it has awarded nearly $40,000 in scholarships to 45 graduating 4-H members and alumni.

The recipients, from 28 Montana counties and tribal areas, can use the scholarships for post-secondary education during the 2024-2025 academic year. Scholarship recipients were recognized July 11 at the 2024 Montana 4-H Congress held on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman.

Jane Wolery, executive director of the Montana 4-H Foundation, said the foundation and its donors are looking forward to seeing the scholarship recipients reach their goals through higher education.

Zora Holt, of Hinsdale, was awarded the TrailWest Leadership Scholarship, in the amount of $1,000.

Montana 4-H is part of MSU Extension. It provides education to youth ages 5 to 18. Collegiate 4-H is also available at MSU. Montana 4-H reaches more than 17,000 youth and is supported by 3,000 volunteers.

Scholarships can be based on an annual gift or established as endowments.
