Simon Youth Foundation, a national nonprofit that provides educational opportunities for at-risk high school students, has begun looking for a graduating senior who lives within 50 miles of Tyrone Square.
Each year, Simon Youth Community Scholarships are awarded in every community across the country that is home to Simon, Mills or Premium Outlets malls. The application period has begun and ends on March 1, 2016.
Students can apply online by visiting syf.org/scholarships.
Any student who will be graduating in the class of 2016 and lives within 50 miles of a Simon property is eligible. Recipients will receive up to $1,500 to enroll in an accredited college, university, vocational or technical school.
In 2015, the Simon Youth Foundation awarded $1.2 million to 300 students nationwide.
International Scholarship and Tuition Services Inc., a third-party ad ministrator, will select the 2016 SYF Community Scholarship recipients. Students are selected based on a variety of criteria, including financial need, academic performance, leadership skills and participation in school and community activities. Those students who are the first in their family to pursue a post-secondary education also will be given close consideration.
Recipients will be notified in May.
