About Morgan County 4-H
What We Do
4-H began over 100 years ago, and has since grown into the largest youth development program in the nation. 4-H prepares young people to be leaders in their community and around the world through hands-on experiences alongside their peers and caring adults. Backed by a network of more than 6 million youth, 540,000 adult volunteers, 3,500 professionals, and more than 60 million alumni; 4-H delivers research-based programming around positive youth development. 4-H is delivered through America's 109 land-grant universities and the Cooperative Extension Service reaching every corner of our nation.
In Indiana, 4-H can be found in all 92 counties as delivered through Purdue Extension. Community clubs, afterschool programs, school enrichment, camps/workshops, and special interest programs are all ways youth across Indiana can be involved with the 4-H program.

Purpose
The “Blue Collar Scholar” Award is designed to support a graduating high school student who is entering the workforce or enrolling in a trade school rather than attending a traditional college or university. The award provides financial assistance to help cover the cost of tools, workwear, or other job-related expenses that are often required but not provided by employers or training programs.

• How the award will help support your transition into the workforce or training program.
