About
Since the inception of the YOC Scholarship Program in 2008, we’ve had the honor of awarding over $2.6 million in scholarships to more than 300 outstanding high school seniors, many of whom have become the first in their families to attend college.
Applications for 2023 are closed and will reopen later this year.

University of California Berkeley, Class of 2025Major: Mathematics & Economics
"This YOC scholarship has allowed me to go to college with way less pressure on my shoulders. I know that with this scholarship I am able to still have fun and be a college student without worrying about financials. With my part-time job next semester and this scholarship, my family and I will be able to afford my education. And that's such an amazing feeling, knowing that you believe in me. Thank you!"

“I started golf for fun and it slowly became a part of who I am. I’ve grown a lot because of golf, and to be able to say that this next important part of my life, going to college, is possible because of something I started for fun, is incredible. Thank you!”
