The 2024 Harford County Farm Bureau Scholarship is Live!
The Harford County Farm Bureau Scholarship is available to applicants whose families are members of Harford County Farm Bureau. The applicant must be accepted or enrolled in a full-time accredited 2 or 4 year college, university, or technical school, and the applicant’s chosen curriculum must be in an approved program in agriculture or an agriculturally related field. Previous applicants and scholarship recipients are welcome to reapply for subsequent scholarship awards.
The Harford County 4-H Memorial Scholarship is administered by Harford County Farm Bureau. This scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors who have been a member of Harford County 4-H for a minimum of 2 years. The applicant must be accepted or enrolled in a full-time accredited 2 or 4 year college, university, or technical school. It is not necessary for the applicant’s chosen curriculum to be agriculturally related. This scholarship was established to memorialize several Harford County 4-H members who lost their lives at a young age because of accidents or health issues. Funds for this scholarship come from donations and from the sale of 4-H livestock projects which are sold at the Harford County Farm Fair.
There is one scholarship application form, which can be used for either or both scholarships. Eligible applicants should be provided with a copy of this scholarship program information and the accompanying application
form, in either hard copy or electronically. To obtain an electronic copy, please contact the Farm Bureau office at harfordfb@gmail.com.
The completed application and all requested information should be sent to: Harford County Farm Bureau, 3525 Conowingo Road, Suite 200, Street, MD 21154-1900. Applications must be postmarked by or delivered to the Farm Bureau office at the Harford County Agricultural Center by Friday, May 31, 2024.
All completed applications will be reviewed by Harford County Farm Bureau’s Scholarship Committee. The committee’s recommendations will be presented to the Board of Directors for final approval at their June 2024
meeting. Recipients of both scholarships will be notified in writing on/about June 20, 2024.
Scholarship funds will be sent directly to the college, university, or technical school. The funds can be used during the Fall and/or Spring semesters immediately following the scholarship award.
