Scholarship Process
Eligibility
The scholarship is distributed to students representing Georgia at National Leadership and Skills Conference. If the gold medalist declines their bid, the silver medalist will be invited to attend in their place and be eligible for the YDF scholarship. If silver declines their invitation, the bronze medalist will be invited to attend in their place and be eligible for the YDF scholarship.
Distribution
Students work with their advisors to complete the scholarship guidelines in the YDF Scholarship packet. Members complete assignments in order to receive the YDF Scholarships. The intention behind these assignments is to show gratitude, create testimonials, and practice professionalism skills they will use in the real world.
