Simon Youth Foundation Inc

Simon youth scholarships are awarded to simon youth academy graduates, as well as non-academy students in every community that is home to a simon property. The awards primarily serve students who will be the first in their families to attend post-secondary education institutions, including 2-year vocational and technical schools and 4-year colleges. A third-party administrator selects recipients and factors in financial need, academic performance, leadership skills, school participation, and community activities.

To support continued high academic and program standards, syf hosts an annual best practices conference for syf school district partners and representatives from national organizations that work to improve graduation rates. The best practices conference is held in conjunction with a leading national education conference, providing an opportunity for academy administrators and teachers to take advantage of professional development beyond syf sponsored lectures and sessions.
