Experiences

Read about the different experiences you can apply to receive scholarships for! All grade requirements are based on the current (2025-2026) school year. Please double check that you meet the qualifications for the experiences and awards you are applying for. The Racine County 4-H Leaders Association will pay up to half of the total experience cost for those awarded if a scholarship is awarded. Some experiences are available only by state selection, so even if a scholarship is awarded, there is no guarantee that you will be able to attend this experience. Please note dates and costs are tentative and based on last year’s information. We do not receive up-to-date information until registration is closer.
