Hey all and happy Thursday!

Okay, we are back from the 2 weeks of District 10 4-H contests and we wanted to pass on a few reminders for some important deadlines that are coming up pretty quickly.  These include all of the awards, leadership, and scholarship applications in addition to validation tag orders.  We’ll also be sending out some separate emails for the Texas 4-H Roundup registration information, as well as the upcoming District 10 Leadership Lab information!

We are also excited to announce that we are able to transition back to in-person programming for this summer (YAY!!!).  We are meeting with our Ambassador, Council, and Club Manager groups over the next couple of weeks to work on some fun summer activities and ideas to help rejuvinate our program after some big challenges this past year.  With that, we’ll get started!!

AWARDS APPLICATIONS:

LEADERSHIP APPLICATIONS:

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS:

  • Please note that the availability of scholarships for 2020-2021 may be variable due a lack of fundraising opportunities and the ever changing situation presented to these groups by COVID-19.    
  • Applications are due to the CEO by 12:00 Noon on May 13, 2021           
  • Application (Direct Link): https://counties.agrilife.org/bastrop/files/2021/02/2021-scholarship-application-and-letter-FILLABLE.pdf
  • More information available on the website at https://bastrop.agrilife.org/awards/
  • Changes for the 2021 Scholarship Application Process:
    • This year (and for the 2021-2020 year) applicants MUST have turned in recordbooks for 2 of the past 3 years for judging at the county level (this will be changed to 3 of the past 4 years in 2022-2023)
    • There will be no in-person interviews this year.  We are asking for applicants to submit a recorded video of them answering 5-7 questions chosen by the committee.  These questions will be released the day after the applications are due at the County Extension Office
