Union County 4-H Opens Two Scholarship Applications, Deadline April 1
Union County 4-H seniors have until April 1 at 5 p.m. to apply for two scholarships, including one honoring Matthew Coote.

High school seniors with ties to Union County 4-H now have two scholarship opportunities available through the program, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. on April 1.
The Union County 4-H scholarship committee has opened applications for the Matthew Coote Memorial 4-H Scholarship and the Union County 4-H Association Scholarship, both posted through the OSU Extension Service's Union County 4-H page. Application documents for each scholarship are available for download directly from the Extension site.
According to the program announcement, both scholarships carry the same deadline: April 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Students can submit completed applications by email, physical mail, or by dropping them off in person at the Union County 4-H office before the deadline. The announcement notes that "all pertinent details are provided in the attached application forms," directing applicants to the downloadable documents for eligibility requirements, required materials, and any additional instructions.
The Matthew Coote Memorial 4-H Scholarship application file is the more substantial of the two documents at 186.68 KB, while the Union County 4-H Association Scholarship application weighs in at 42.37 KB. Both are formatted as Word documents available through the Extension page.
Award amounts, specific eligibility requirements, and selection criteria for these two scholarships were not listed in the program's public announcement; those details are contained within the application forms themselves. Students planning to apply should download both forms well before the April 1 deadline to allow time to gather any required materials such as transcripts or other supporting documents.
Union County seniors with questions can reach the 4-H program through the OSU Extension Service's Union County office. The scholarship announcements are listed under the Recognition, Scholarships, and Awards section of the Union County 4-H program page, which also includes information on the county fair, record books, and the annual 4-H Radio Auction.
