Payne/National 4-H Fellowship Collection. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.
The National 4-H Fellowship was one of the largest grants for study available to Extension Service professionals. It was awarded beginning in 1931. Initially, two fellowships were established in 1927 by U.S. Representative Frances Payne Bolton of Ohio, through the Payne Fund, Inc. The Payne organization established the 4-H fellowships as an experiment, in the hope that they would form the nucleus of a larger program of permanent educational fellowships. Sixteen fellowships were granted by the Payne Fund between 1931 and 1938. Beginning in 1939, the fellowships were financed by the National 4-H Service Committee. In 1953, the Massey-Ferguson Company assisted the committee in financial support of an enlarged program of six fellowships annually. The program ended in 1969. Fellowships were awarded to three men and three women. Over the course of the one-year fellowship, participants learned the function, structure, and relationships of the federal Extension Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). They were also introduced to professional and educational organizations, and they participated in cultural experiences in Washington, D.C. Employees of the Extension Training Branch of the Extension Service supervised the program.
