Scholarships
The Iowa 4-H Foundation provides assistance for campers to attend sessions at the Iowa 4-H Center regardless of financial limitations. For information on receiving financial assistance, contact your local county extension office and ask them for Financial Assistance Form VI-3092-FS or visit the Iowa 4-H Foundation Web site at www.iowa4hfoundation.org/financial/applications . Complete the form and return it, along with a copy of your registration form, to your county extension office by May 1. Send your actual registration form to the Iowa 4-H Center. If you are unsure how to reach your local county extension office, call the camp office at (515) 795-3338. You will be notified at the end of May of the financial assistance you have been awarded. Your full camp registration payment is due two weeks before your camp date, so if your camper plans to attend one of the first weeks of camp, you may need to pay in advance and be reimbursed after financial assistance is awarded.
2009 Deposit & Payment Information

The deposit is applied to the total camp fee and is both a non-refundable and non-transferable fee. Camp balances are DUE IN FULL two weeks before your camp session or the registration may be cancelled and your deposit forfeited.
