This email blast is geared towards our Graduating High School Seniors and 11th graders preparing for their senior year.
Hey all and Happy Friday!
We wanted to pass on some reminders about the Texas 4-H Foundation Scholarship deadlines and the local scholarship opportunities available for everyone. There should be several options available for those who have AND have not completed and turned in recordbooks in the past. If you have any questions about scholarships or would like someone to help review applications or essays, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
Good afternoon,
It has come to our attention that semester schedules are behind due to the late start some schools faced due to COVID-19. With this delay, some applicants will not have final 1st semester grades at the time of the deadline for the 2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship to satisfy the 3.5 year transcript requirement.
To help give some flexibility with this, we have decided to allow applicants to submit the transcript they have at the time of the deadline (11:59 PM Monday, February 15th). Applications will move on to the judging portion and during that time (March) applicants can submit their final 3.5 year transcript. If an applicant fails to submit their final 3.5 year transcript by Tuesday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM, they will be disqualified from moving to the next round.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Monday, February 15th at 11:59 PM – Deadline for the Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship – must submit the transcript they have at that time.
Tuesday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM – Deadline for any applicant needing to submit an updated transcript to reflect 3.5 years. Applicants will need to have their counselor or school administrator email the updated transcript to Kelly.gideon@ag.tamu.eduI will be checking applications and notifying applicants should they not have a complete transcript (before the deadline only).
***IMPORTANT*** Anyone wishing to be considered for a 2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship MUST submit a complete application (with transcript that is available to the applicant) by the February 15th deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for late applications.
Please let us know if you need anything or have any questions, and have a great weekend!
Please let us know if you have any questions and have a great week!!!
