Scholarship application season is in full swing, with many due in January or immediately thereafter.

There are many Indiana 4-H Foundation scholarships awarded each year. For information about these scholarships and the application process, go to https://extension.purdue.edu/4-H/get-involved/scholarships.html to find requirements and eligibility along with other various scholarships.

Indiana 4-H Foundation scholarships are due Jan. 25 and 4-H’ers will use their 4honline account https://v2.4honline.com/ to submit applications.

The Putnam County-focused scholarships through the 4-H Foundation include the Louis and Mary Luzar 4-H Scholarship Endowment (senior scholarship) of $1,000 for a current Putnam 4-H high school senior. Also, the Beverly Torr Memorial Scholarship (senior scholarship) is set up for a 4-H’er who excelled in the fashion revue or sewing project activity. The Putnam 4-H Junior Leader scholarship will also continue in 2023 as a senior scholarship. In other words, all 4-H seniors should apply for the senior scholarships to determine if any of the numerous awards would be awarded to them.

The 4-H Club scholarship is only available to those who will be attending Purdue University.

The Putnam County 4-H scholarships administered locally by the Putnam County Community Foundation (PCCF) can be applied for using the online application at its website at www.pcfoundation.org. The PCCF application process is available online and includes the Brookshire 4-H Scholarship, Darrel Thomas 4-H Scholarship, Putnam County 4-H Livestock Scholarship, 4-H Dog Club Scholarship and Putnam County General 4-H Scholarship.

These are due Feb. 2, but check with PCCF for other scholarships to assure you know deadlines, since a few scholarships are outside of the general online application.
