Kane County Fair offers 4-H scholarships

The Kane County Fair board of directors in St. Charles is offering a maximum of 3 scholarships per year worth $5,000 each to current 4-H Club members who are high school seniors and planning on attending college.

“We are pleased to continue the tradition of awarding scholarships to worthy high school students within our 4-H community," said Larry Breon, chairman of the Kane County Fair board of directors, “and have now increased the scholarship amount to $5,000. It’s an honor for us to help three outstanding 4-H students who have set high goals for their future success and are very dedicated to giving back their time and talents to their communities."
