Scholarship
The James E. Volbrecht Scholarship is in memorial to James Volbrecht who was a longtime supporter of 4-H and the Eau Claire County Fair. Jim graduated from CVTC with an Ag Mechanics degree in 1984 and he was named Outstanding Young Farmer in 1992. Tragically, Jim died in a farming accident in 2019. This scholarship is given in gratitude for his years of support of young people in Eau Clare County and will honor his memory.
This $300 scholarship will be awarded to an active Eau Claire County 4-H or regional FFA member involved in the Eau Claire County Fair (preference will be given to youth involved in the diary project) who plans to pursue post-secondary education.
Applications are due by 11:59 PM on Friday, July 18, 2025. To apply, follow the link above or use the QR code.
