Arkansas 4-H members are eligible to receive only one college 4-H scholarship from each category of state 4-H scholarships: Category A: General Scholarships; Category B: Scholarships available to former state advanced record book or journal winners only; and Category C: Governor's Award. Details concerning these scholarships are in the Arkansas 4-H Events packet.

A state scholarship must be used within one year of the date of the award. In the event the scholarship is not used with the year of limitation, the winner must submit a request for a time extension through the county Extension office where they resided at the time they became eligible for the award to the State 4-H Youth Development Office. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the scholarship.

4-H scholarship recipients must complete the following in order to receive payment:

A. For first semester payment

1. Request the first half payment in writing (using the FY4-H-638 – Request for 4-H Scholarship) through the county Extension office. The request will be forwarded to the State 4-H Youth Development Office.

2. Submit proof of enrollment or a copy of current class schedule from the college or other institution of higher learning where scholarship is to be used and a Thank You note to the scholarship donor.

B. To receive the second half of the scholarship:

1. Request the second half payment in writing (using the FY4-H-638 – Request for 4-H Scholarship form) through the county Extension office. The request will be forwarded to the State 4-H Youth Development Office.

2. Submit proof that the 4-H member has maintained a 2.5 out of 4.0 GPA (either a copy of your college transcript showing your last semester's grades or your last semester's report card) and proof of enrollment or a copy of a current class schedule from the college or other institution of higher learning where scholarship is to be used.

C. Scholarship checks will be made payable jointly to the institution and to the 4-H member and will be mailed to the institution.
