The Jennifer Freeman 4-H Memorial Scholarships are sponsored by 4-H private support funds in Fulton and Montgomery Counties.  Up to two scholarships (each $300.00) are awarded annually to encourage 4-H members to pursue formal education beyond the high school level.  Major emphasis is given to a candidate’s 4-H experiences and achievements including the influence 4-H has had on the individual’s career and educational goals.  The scholarship may be used for any legitimate higher education purpose.

   Eligibility requirements are as follows:

1.       Candidate must be a current or former 4-H member who will be enrolling as a freshman at an accredited college, university, junior college, community college, technical or trade school in the fall of 2017.  This includes 2 and 4-year education programs in any field.

2.       Candidate must have been a 4-H member for at least 3 years with at least the most recent 4-H membership in the Fulton/Montgomery 4-H program.

On Friday, November 7, over 120 Fulton and Montgomery county 4-H members, family members and volunteers celebrated their annual recognition night at the Amsterdam Elk’s Lodge. Throughout the year 4-Hers participate in projects ranging from woodworking and sewing, to horticulture and animal science. These projects culminate in exhibits at the Fonda Fair in late August, where 4-Hers show off their work to the general public. The members who document activities in their record books and turn them in to be judged on merit are eligible to receive project award discs, a symbol of their years’ worth of hard work and dedication to their projects.

4-H Motto - “To Make the Best Better”
This national 4-H Motto should be the objective of each 4-H leader and member.

4-H Slogan - “Learning by Doing”
This is the educational philosophy of the 4-H program.  Since young people learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process, 4-H projects are designed to provide “hands-on” experience that is reinforced through group discussion and application – “do – reflect – apply.”

4-H Colors
The 4-H colors are green and white. White symbolizes purity, and green represents life, springtime, and youth.

4-H Club Emblem – A green four-leaf clover with a white “H” in each leaf
In 1907 a clover was chosen for the emblem, originally featuring only three leaves representing head, heart, and hands.  In 1908 a fourth leaf was added to represent health.  Today the 4-H Club Emblem is protected by law and belongs to the Congress of the United States.  It is protected under Federal Statue 18USC707.

4-H members are encouraged to embrace the 4-H spirit expressed through these symbols and to live and wear it proudly in all they do and say.
