The 4-H Council makes available $1500 for college scholarships each year, with the maximum award per person set at $1000. The selection of scholarship recipients and amounts received are determined by a volunteer committee. This year’s scholarship recipient is Hope Ramming. Hope started in 4-H as a Cloverbud and has attended
4-H Camp every year since she was 6 years old. 4-H Camp is very dear to her and this year she will attend as an adult volunteer.
