4-H Karen Macleod Memorial Scholarship

The 4-H Karen Macleod Memorial Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of Carroll County. Established to honor the life of Karen Macleod, this opportunity is designed for graduating students in Carroll County, Maryland, who have participated in local 4-H programs. To qualify for the award, applicants must have a background of participation in either the 4-H sheep or horse programs.

This scholarship provides financial assistance for students pursuing higher education. To apply, candidates must use the dedicated 4-H Portal Application hosted on the Community Foundation of Carroll County website. This portal allows students to complete a single application to be considered for multiple 4-H and FFA opportunities. The application process does not require a FAFSA or state financial aid application submission to the foundation, as eligibility is primarily based on 4-H program participation and meeting the specific fund criteria.
