4-H Scholarship Opportunities
Texas 4-H Foundation Scholarship
https://texas4hfoundation.org/what-we-do/
The 2021 Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship applications will open November 2nd. There are a few updates to this year’s application. Due to COVID-19, many testing sites have been closed and seniors are having difficulty getting in to take the SAT/ACT exams. This year, we will be waiving the requirement for these exams. Applicants will not be asked to provide a score.
Another change was made to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo financial aid cap. Previously, one would not be eligible for the HLSR scholarship if they accepted more than $90,000 in financial aid and scholarships. They have increased this cap to $110,000.
- Application Deadline if you would like your application reviewed: Friday, January 15th (turn your application in to an agent if you would like for him/her to review it before the final deadline)
- Application Deadline: February 15th
- Interview Notifications: April 2021

Keep in mind:
You must complete your FAFSA (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before submitting your scholarship application at http://www.fafsa.gov/. This is required for Baccalaureate, Technical, and Courageous Heart scholarships. Please complete this before mid-December.
If you wait, you may not have time to get the FAFSA paperwork submitted and receive the SAR report before the Texas 4-H Opportunity Scholarship application deadline. This is a required document to be attached to your application, without this you will not be able to apply.
