Two Mitchell area 4-H members are recipients of state-level 4-H scholarships.
Both Delaney Zoss of Sanborn County and Willam Kreth of Davison County received $1,500 Sokota Scholarships.
Zoss graduated from Mitchell High School and is attending SDSU to major in human biology with a minor in animal science. She participated in many 4-H project areas, but her favorites were the horse project and leadership opportunities.
Kreth graduated from Ethan High School and is attending SDSU to major in pharmacy. He enjoyed participating in the 4-H State Ambassador Program.
Youth with at least five years of active membership in 4-H, current high school seniors, or those enrolled at SDSU are eligible to apply for the scholarships that are funded through donors and SDSU Extension’s 4-H program.
Awards are based on scholarship-specific criteria – such as what area of study students intend to pursue – plus a mix of academic achievement, 4-H project involvement, community service and leadership, character and financial need.
