4-H Receives Grant
UNIVERSITY PARK Penn
State 4-H has received a $52,000
grant from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to study factors that
influence young adults to pursue
studies in the sciences.
Dr. Jerry H. Reybum, professor
of 4-H youth at Penn State, has
been named director of the nation
al study. 4-H is the youth compo
nent of USDA Cooperative
Extension.
“College enrollment in the sci
ences, especially agricultural sci
ence, has declined nation-wide,”
says Dr. Reybum. “Our science
and evaluation study will examine
a number of 4-H projects to find
patterns of support that encourage
scientific inquiry at an early age.
We are also looking at factors that
encourage 4-H members to con
tinue their interest in science into
college,” he says.
The USDA study will be begin
at the National 4-H Congress in
Chicago in December, where
state-wide winners of 4-H project
categories compete for national
honors. “4-H’ers at National Con
gress have been successful with
4-H and will be an excellent study
group. They will participate by
completing a questionnaire
designed to bring out 4-H program
characteristics that lead members
to study agricultural sciences in

college,” says Reybum.
The questionnaire will also
include questions about the
youth’s high school experiences,
home life and personality. In addi
tion to 4-H members, high school
math and science teachers and
counselors in Pennsylvania will be
asked to participate in the study.
Dr. Allan Smith of National 4-H
and Trent Schriefer, a Penn State
graduate student in agricultural
and extension education, are deve
loping the questionnaire.
Penn State’s study, entitled
“Identifying instructional Strate
gies Most Effective in Recruiting
Scientific Human Capital for Agri
culture” began September 1, and is
expected to last for 13 months. It is
part of a national study.
Wyoming, Missouri and North
Carolina are also evaluating their
4-H state programs and Florida is
building on its 4-H projects so that
4-H’ers can receive college credit
for some of their work.
“The USDA grant gives Penn
State 4-H an opportunity to evalu
ate and redirect some of our 4-H
programming,” says Reybum.
“4-H can be a positive influence in
urban as well as rural areas and we
want to identify and support those
programs that lead members to
continue their study of agricultural
sciences into College.”
