Daniels Fund Scholarship

The Daniels Scholarship is an exciting and challenging program that provides the opportunity to obtain a four-year college education at any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States, complete with financial and personal support throughout the journey. The Daniels Scholarship Program offers resources, encouragement, and inspiration far beyond the financial assistance needed to earn a college degree. Our goal is not only to help Daniels Scholars succeed in college, but to ensure that they thrive beyond their years in college. If you would like more information or to apply for the Daniels Fund Scholarship.  Applications open October 1st and close November 15th at 4:00 p.m. MST.

Weld County 4-H and FFA members enrolling in any market and/or breeding livestock or small animal projects for the first time regardless of age, must attend a Colorado Meat Quality Assurance (MQA) program. 4-H and FFA members will be required to attend a Face to Face Colorado MQA program a minimum of twice during the course of their career – once as a junior (8-13 years old, age as of December 31st) and once again within one year after becoming a senior (14-18 years old, age as of December 31st) member. The virtual MQA training last year was valid for one year only.

Weld County 4-H is providing two more MQA Trainings on a Face to Face basis in 2021-2022.

We will offer this MQA Training on the following dates:

• Tuesday, March 29th from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, March 30th from 4:00-7:00 p.m.

You can view an updated MQA list (updated 10/27/2021) with the members who were enrolled last year. This list will let you know if you need to take the MQA training. If you are planning on attending the MQA training, please fill out the MQA form and bring it with you.

This spring there may be a virtual MQA training offered that is valid for one year.
