Chance Seivley Memorial Scholarship Fund
This scholarship fund was created in memory of Chance Michael Seivley. Chance was an active young man who loved the outdoors, spending time with his family, and 4-H. 4-H gave Chance the opportunity to mentor younger members and share his passion for 4-H with others. During his 4-H career, Chance had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. and Finland. These travel opportunities helped Chance grow and experience the larger 4-H world.
In establishing this scholarship, Chance’s family and friends wish to recognize his enthusiasm for the 4-H program and reward other youth the opportunity to experience traveling with the Wyoming 4-H program.
Each award recipient is required to share their experiences with their home club as well as at least two other 4-H clubs within the Wyoming 4-H system. Sharing these experiences will continue to share the 4-H legacy of Chance Seivley.
