Programs NORMA M. BRUMBAUGH AWARD – Oklahoma Home and Community Education administers the Miss Norma M. Brumbaugh Scholarship by sponsoring three $500.00 scholarships to Oklahoma Extension Educators. Recipients may apply for the second consecutive year. A person who has received the award for two years must wait five years after the second award to apply again. Purpose: To provide a program and funds for aiding county Extension Educators to obtain advanced professional training that will better equip them for continued service to Oklahoma families. OHCE Student Scholarship – OHCE offers one $1,000 scholarship, annually to a student enrolled in OSU with the following requirements: 1) The student must be full time status with a sophomore or above classification; 2) Must be a Human Environmental Sciences or Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources student; 3) Must be either a child or grandchild of a current OHCE member or a former 4-H member. The scholarship shall be administered by the 4-H Foundation. DONNA CADWALADER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANT – The Donna Cadwalader Research and Development Grant is derived from the interest on a $15,000.00 grant given to the College of Human Environmental Sciences in 1985. A grant is to be awarded annually to an Extension Specialist and Resident Instructor to be determined by the College of Human Environmental Sciences upon the approval of Oklahoma Home and Community Education. PENNIES FOR FRIENDSHIP – OHCE is a member of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW). Pennies for Friendship was established by the ACWW with the thought that if members world-wide would give one penny per year to the organization, a central office would be established to support a secretary. Through the years ACWW has grown providing office maintenance, two newspapers, E-mail, communications, United Nations links, networking, and a number of other educational projects for the betterment of women and children in the world. All OHCE members’ pennies collected each year are used to help with those expenses. Money is sent directly to the ACWW. Nickels for Leadership – Members are encouraged to collect nickels throughout the year to go toward a County Officer Leadership Training in odd number of years. This money helps pay for special speakers, use of facilities, travel expenses, and the rising cost of printed material for participants. These trainings will be divided into two or four meeting areas. WATER FOR ALL - WATER FOR ALL is a project in which OHCE members will be raising funds for and contributing to our affiliate, Associated Country Women of the World, who will dig water wells in third world countries in order to provide fresh drinking water and better sanitation for thousands of people.
