Guthrie Dairy Youth Leadership Scholarship

We are incredibly pleased to announce the Guthrie Dairy Youth Leadership Award again. This cash award (max amount $500.00) will be given annually to 4-H or FFA members involved in youth dairy programs or activities who need financial assistance to participate in workshops, conferences, field days, or any other dairy-related activities that would enhance their leadership abilities. Examples of these programs are Junior Dairy Breed Association Activities, Southeast Dairy Youth Retreat, or any other dairy-related program where leadership can be developed. Exhibiting your Dairy Heifer Project is not considered a qualifying program for this scholarship. Depending on the number of deserving applicants and the availability of funds, consideration may be given to awarding more than one scholarship.

Enclosed is an application form which must be signed by the student’s County Extension Agent and/or Agricultural Education Teacher. The signing teacher or agent must also attach a letter of recommendation. The completed application and letters of recommendation must be emailed to Carole Knight ([log in to unmask] ) no later than 5:00 PM on March 1, 2024.
