The Rotary Club of San Antonio established a “Student Loan Fund” in 1921 to offer financial support to Bexar County youth. The Fund was renamed the Youth Education Foundation (YEF) and was formed in 1984 as a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation that now offers scholarships to local college students. The Club’s “oldest ongoing project,” YEF continues to meet the needs of the Greater San Antonio community and helps create tomorrow’s leaders through academic achievement.
Students are selected to receive scholarships based on their character, leadership, service, financial need, and scholastic ability. Diploma Plus applicants must be current recipients of the Diploma Plus Award.
