Ken Bragg 4-H Scholarship

Deadline: March 1

Apply for a WVU 4-H Scholarship

Scholarship awarded to recipient who:

  • Is a West Virginia 4-H'er
  • First preference is given to a current 4-H member of Gilmer, Lewis, Braxton, Randolph or              Upshur counties
  • Enrolled as a student at WVU
  • Is studying at the Davis College of Agriculture, Forestry and Design

If no applicants fit this profile, consideration will be opened to Gilmer County students who are studying at WVU’s Davis College.

Ken Bragg was a long-time 4-H'er, a WVU graduate of the Davis College and an Extension agent for many years. After a successful career in agriculture, he wanted to give back and establish the scholarship for 4-H youths. Coming from a family with modest means helped motivate him to set up a charitable annuity that would become an endowed scholarship for 4-H'ers after he passed away.

Mr. Bragg wanted to ensure that 4-H’ers – regardless of economic status – would have a chance to attend college.
