This year we launched the Exceptional Youth Scholarship award program, our first-ever scholarship program for high school students. This program provides ten high school students with a $5,000 scholarship each to offset the tuition and expenses of a four-year college or university.
This scholarship recognizes students for their high level of academic achievement and outstanding service to their communities. We were thrilled with the response we received and so impressed by the quality of students who applied. Many thanks to all of you who shared the scholarship application with students you know.
