Youth In Action Volunteerism Scholarship Fund

The scholarship was established to recognize volunteerism in students. One $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to help with the cost of advanced education for students graduating from West High, East High, or Expo and attending full-time at the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State University or an Iowa community college. Eligible students will be majoring in the field of education or science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), have earned a grade point average of 2.9, and have given a minimum of 30 hours of volunteer service to the community in the prior 12 months.

There are many strategic ways to maximize giving using your currently held assets. Gifts from your IRA, stock, corn/grain, or estate make a lasting impact in our community, not only today but for generations to come. If you have questions about other ways to give generously toward this Fund, contact Erin Tink, Executive Director, at erin.tink@wloocommunityfoundation.org.
