Russell County 4-H Development Fund

RUSSELL — The Russell County 4-H Development Fund, an organization whose mission is to support 4-H programs, 4-H members, and 4-H alumni, met on April 23, 2025 and awarded four area high school graduates each a $1000 scholarship toward their tuition at the college they plan to attend.

• Russell High School graduating senior recipient Teagan Pfeifer plans to attend Pittsburg State University in the Automotive Technology program. • • Hays High/Westview graduate Christian Miller is attending Barton Community College in the Business program.
• Russell High School graduate Kelvie Reeves is attending Fort Hays State University in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
• Russell High School graduate Hailey Gier is attending Kansas State University in the Milling Science and Management program.

These very deserving recipients, along with other active 4-H members who have received event scholarships during this 4-H year, have worked hard in their 4-H, scholastic, and personal endeavors, and are continuing their education to make the best better. The Board congratulates them on their achievements and is proud to support them in their journey.

Without the generosity of our donors, these scholarships and the ability to pay all Russell County 4-H members’ annual enrollment fees, would not be possible. We are grateful to all who help support 4-H youth.

If you are interested in helping 4-H members and alumni pursue educational opportunities, please consider donating.

Including the Russell County 4-H Development Fund in your estate and memorial planning is a great way to help secure the future of Russell County 4-H. Tax deductible contributions are truly appreciated and can be mailed to Russell County 4-H Development Fund, 309 S. Fossil, Russell, KS 67665.
