Scholarship of the Day

Description:

As more and more families across America are affected by Alzheimer’s disease, many teenagers as well are becoming aware of this heartbreaking brain disease—from personal experiences in their own families, watching friends and neighbors, or involvement in community service.

Recognizing this, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA), a national nonprofit organization, has created a division specifically for teens, AFA Teens. Its goals include raising awareness among teenagers and the general public about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias; providing education, counseling and support to young family members; enabling teens to share feelings with other teens and experts; and referring teens and their family members to supportive services.

The Yawkey Foundations are committed to continuing the legacy of Tom and Jean Yawkey by making significant and positive impacts on the quality of life of children, families, and the underserved in the areas which the Yawkeys called home, New England and Georgetown County, South Carolina.

Education was an area of particular concern for Tom and Jean Yawkey. They understood its ability to alter the course of young lives. In honor of the Yawkeys’ commitment to education, in 2005 the Yawkey Foundation Board of Trustees established the Yawkey Scholars Program for students with significant financial need from Eastern Massachusetts and Georgetown County, South Carolina. These need-based awards are given to students with challenging life circumstances and who have had a significant, meaningful experience through participation in a mentoring relationship during high school. Scholarship awards may only be used for full-time, degree-seeking study at certain four-year, private, accredited colleges and universities.
