How it Works
Youth Academy members and current Bay Area high school seniors, enrolled as full-time students in an accredited high school, and have a minimum 2.5 GPA are welcome to apply. Online scholarship applications are reviewed by our scholarship committee, and applicants are narrowed down and a select group moves through to an interview process. After interviews close, a final review process takes place and scholarship recipients are notified.
