WVU AgTech Mini-Grant Program

WVU Extension and WVU Davis College offer up to five $2,000 mini-grants to West Virginia 4-H and FFA clubs, groups and individuals for agriculture-related technology on the farm or in the classroom, such as data loggers, weather stations, drones, precision agriculture and field mapping. Machinery, tires and farm supplies are not funded. The 2025-26 cycle closed December 10, 2025; the page references prior recipients, so it appears to recur.

• Applicant must be an active 4-H or FFA club member

• Applicant must be at least 14 and no more than 21 years old as of 1/1/2025

• Teams/clubs may apply but a lead applicant meeting the criteria must be listed

• Application must have signed approval of the county Extension agent

• Previous recipients of the AgTech grant are ineligible for a second grant

Grant will not be awarded for 'equipment' such as tires, machinery, and farm supplies. Awardees submit mid-year (April 15, 2026) and final (August 5, 2026) project reports. County Extension agent oversees disbursement.

Published amounts: up to five $2,000 mini-grants will be awarded

Applications are submitted online (cannot be saved part-way); preview the PDF application first. Upload a signed letter of support from a VoAg teacher, 4-H leader or faculty member, plus the county 4-H professional's (Extension agent's) signature.
