Simon Youth Foundation Scholarship Opportunity with Woodburn Premium Outlets

This year, living near Woodburn Premium Outlets could help a graduating senior pay for college. 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 fifty miles of Woodburn Premium Outlets. Simon Youth Foundation (SYF) will award 25 scholarships to students graduating in the class of 2016 who live within 50 miles of any Premium Outlets mall nationwide. No more than one scholarship will be awarded per property. Recipients will receive up to $1,500 to enroll in an accredited college, university, vocational or technical school. In addition, an ?Award of Excellence? will be given to the top candidate from among the scholarship applicants that represent the nationwide Premium Outlets locations. That student will receive a $10,000 award ($2,500 for up to four years). SYF is a national non-profit that partners with public school districts to open dropout recovery academies inside Simon shopping malls. The organization now has 27 Simon Youth Academies in 12 states. In the organization?s 17-year history, more than 13,000 students have earned their diploma and more than $13 million in scholarships have been awarded. Students can apply online by visiting syf.org/scholarships. Recipients will be notified in May. ###
