Youth of the Year Scholarship
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham have granted scholarships worth about $220,000 to the Youth of the Year since 1971. The Youth of the Year Committee seeks applications from high school guidance counselors of the most promising students in the area. Typically five to six students are recognized at a meeting in the spring with one of them being named as the “Youth of the Year.” Students who are interested in applying should work with their guidance counselor.
