If a small surcharge were added to event fees to help provide 4-H youth participation fee scholarships, would this surcharge be subject to Extensions program cost recovery fee (i.e. PREF)?
If it is a 4-H event, it is not subject to Extension’s program cost recovery fee (PREF) at all, neither the original event fee nor any surcharge added to help provide 4-H participation fee scholarships. If it is an Extension event that is not a 4-H event, the total event fee would be subject to Extension’s program cost recovery formula, even if a portion of the event fee was earmarked for 4-H youth participation fee scholarships.
