4-H Grants & Scholarships: Spring Spotlight — Part 2
Hello again 4-H’ers! We hope everyone’s had a great St. Patrick’s Day. We certainly did!
We also hope everyone enjoyed the first “official” day of spring. On that note, we’re back this week with some more spring-inspired grant and scholarship opportunities. Get those applications submitted and good luck to everyone!
It’s All About the Fruit! Grant Program
Deadline: April 11, 2011
Sponsored by Jamba Juice, the It’s All About the Fruit grant program provides schools and organizations with fruit trees to create engaging nutrition and gardening experiences.
20 recipients will receive fruit trees valued at $500 and the Jamba Juice It’s All About the Fruit Youth Garden Guide. Recipients will be selected based on plans to promote nutrition education, ideas for incorporating fruit tree activities into the curriculum, and ability to sustain the program over multiple years.
This April deadline will be here before you know it, so come on 4-H leaders, get those creative “juices” flowing! Learn more and download an application here.
Shade Structure Program
Deadline: April 22, 2011
Chances are, many of your 4-H club’s projects and events take place outside in the sun. Wouldn’t it be cool (no pun intended) to be able to provide shade and UV ray protection in an area where your club meets or spends a lot of time?
The American Academy of Dermatology awards grants in the amount of $8,000 each for the purchase of permanent shade structures for nonprofit organizations serving children and teens who are 18 and younger. The AAD also provides a permanent sign to be displayed near the shade structure that promotes the importance of sun safety.
Find out if your club is eligible and learn how you can get sponsored by an AAD member dermatologist.
California State Beekeepers Association Scholarship
Deadline: May 31, 2011
Hey Californians, check out this scholarship buzz: The California State Beekeepers Association is offering one $500 scholarship to a 4-H’er who has participated in a beekeeping project at any time during their 4-H membership. Students pursuing any field of scholastic endeavor are eligible for the award, but preference will be given to those students who plan to enter the bee industry.
