Exceptional Youth Scholarship Application Period is Now Open
LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As part of its mission to empower youth through education, The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD)'s Exceptional Youth Scholarship has been recognizing high school seniors who demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence and community service involvement since 2015.
Now in its ninth year, the 2023 EYS will award ten (10) students a one-time, need-based scholarship of $10,000 to offset the cost of education at a four-year university or college in the United States including tuition, housing, books, and other on-campus related expenses.
"Education is one of our core values, and we believe in the positive impact of lifelong learning and mentorship," said David Ulich, Executive Board Member of The Foundation for Global Sports Development. "We hope the Exceptional Youth Scholarship relieves some of the financial burden of pursuing a degree, letting students focus on their academic and personal growth instead."
The Exceptional Youth Scholarship application period opens today, March 1, 2023, and will close on April 15, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Eligibility
- Must be a high school senior at time of application – Scholarships cannot be deferred
- Minimum cumulative GPA: 3.0 (through end of Fall 2022)
- Must have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- Must have devoted a minimum of 100 hours to community service, volunteer, or mentorship activities during 4 years of high school
- Must be a US citizen or legal resident
Applications will be evaluated on academics, character, leadership, and service. High school seniors who are actively involved in their education and in giving back to their community are encouraged to apply.
"We are looking for students who want to continue being engaged with their community and are ready to do college level work," Mr. Ulich reiterated.
