State 4-H Scholarships and Vanier Family Scholarship

The Kansas 4-H Scholarship process has been modified. These changes will take effect for the 2024-25 scholarship application process. Please review all of the documentation thoroughly. If you have any questions about the changes and processes that have been made, please ask Sarah Keatley (keatley@ksu.edu or 620-366-0035), Kansas 4-H Scholarship Coordinator.
We hope that these modifications will enhance the transparency and practicability of the application process, thereby rendering it simpler and more user-friendly to navigate for applicants. Furthermore, it provides applicants with a readily prepared resume and cover letter that they can use for their job applications
For the sake of clarity in the following information, there will be two types of scholarships referenced; State 4-H Scholarships and the Vanier Family Scholarship Program (VFSP).

Scholarship applications not currently being accepted. Check back in 2027!
