The Program
Through this program, the Foundation selects high-achieving youth with financial need and provides them with individualized educational opportunities and support, throughout high school, that will enable them to develop their talents and abilities. The Foundation awards approximately 70 of these scholarships each year. The Young Scholars Program is one of the most individualized scholarships offered in the US.
