The SYF has established a scholarship or a financial assistance program, the SYF “Road” Scholarship program, to provide funding to young persons who are unable, for a variety of reasons, to afford the cost of their particular group’s student educational travel. Teachers and youth leaders may nominate a student for the SYF “Road” Scholarship; and thereupon candidates will be judged and selected based upon need, as evidenced by their completed application. The application form, once completed, is submitted to SYF. By its provision for these financial resources, SYF is able to effect a positive difference in the lives of deserving youth. To obtain an SYF “Road” Scholarship application, visit the SYTA website for application information – www.syta.org.
