Standards of Excellence
The Standards of Excellence Application serves as a scholarship for members, or clubs, to partially fund a county, district, or state event. Some of these events include 4-H University, 4-H Day at the Capitol, 4-H Legislature, or other educational activities.
Youth can receive a scholarship by documenting their yearly participation in completing a project/record book, performing community service hours, serving on a 4-H committee, participating in activities, exhibits, and competitions, giving demonstrations, speaking at engagements, and being elected as an officer.

|
What are Project Record Books?
Project Record Books are a pillar of 4-H programs. They serve as tools that help members to document their work throughout their 4-H experience. These records can provide solid information for college, scholarship, and job applications. Plus, students who complete a Project Record Book, and score well, will be recognized at Achievement Night and receive a sought-after project mastery pin!
