Jama Harms Memorial Scholarship

A scholarship to help Lake County 4-H youth with college related expenses was established in memorial of Jama Harms, a Lake County 4-H member who unexpectedly passed away in 1995.

Jama Harms was a dedicated 4-H member of the Goose Lake Livestock and Dog 4-H clubs. She enjoyed raising market lambs and had a passion for training guide dogs. To date, the Jama Harms Memorial Scholarship has helped over 70 Lake County 4-H youth.

Donations can be made at the Lake County 4-H and FFA Market Sale during the Lake County Fair or by calling the OSU Lake County Extension Office at 541-947-6054.

Each year at the Lake County Fair, the first lamb at the auction is donated by either a 4-H club, 4-H member or individual. Those proceeds go to the Jama Harms Memorial Scholarship Fund.
