Patricia Young Scholarship Application

Welcome to the Patricia Young Scholarship application!

This award supports students who lead with heart, express themselves well, and let their creativity shine—whether that’s through leadership, service, or the arts. While your major can be anything, we’re especially excited to support someone who communicates with clarity, gives back to their community or school, and isn’t afraid to think differently.

Be thoughtful, be real, and most of all—be you.

Scholarship Deadline

Two scholarship recipients will receive $1000 each. All applications must be submitted before the deadline of 5/31/2025 by 11:59 pm EST.
