🐷 2026 Youth Pig Project Scholarship Program

The Wisconsin Pork Association Youth Committee is once again offering Youth Pig Project Scholarships for 2026!

These scholarships are designed to help 4-H youth establish or expand their swine projects while building valuable life skills and exploring career opportunities in Wisconsin’s pork industry.

Scholarship Details

  • Who Can Apply: 4-H members ages 9–19 (as of January 1, 2026)
  • Award Amount: $100 to help offset 2026 pig project expenses
  • Age Divisions: 9–11, 12–15, and 16–19
  • Requirement: Scholarship recipients must attend a 30-minute educational webinar to receive their scholarship check. Webinar dates will be announced later.

The Wisconsin Pork Association’s goal is to award at least 50 scholarships this year, made possible through the generosity of Wisconsin show pig producers and industry supporters.

If you’re planning to purchase show animals this season, please consider supporting the producers who help make opportunities like this possible.
