Write one paragraph on each of the seven Leadership Life Skills (Understanding
Self, Communicating, and Getting Along with Others, Learning to Learn, Making
Decisions, Managing Resources and Working with Groups). It is very important
to relate these skills to the 4-H leadership roles you have held during the past two
years, such as holding an office, serving on a committee, and/or 4-H project work.
Discuss what you learned from your leadership experiences.
Section C – Work Experience
List any work experience and describe how it relates to your 4-H experience.
Section D – 4-H Story (one page maximum)
Share information about you as a person. Emphasize your personal growth and
development. This is your opportunity to share how 4-H has contributed to who
you are! You could include your most significant 4-H projects, activities and
experiences. If you identify projects and activities, discuss the skills you learned
and how these experiences are important to you now and in the future. Lists of
accomplishments, activities and projects are nice but the review committee is
more interested in what you learned from these experiences and how they will
assist you in the future.

one (1) $200.00 scholarship will be given but you only need to enter one
