The Whitney M. Young Determination Scholar
Established in 1973, the League dedicates revenue from the annual Whitney M. Young, Jr. (WMY) Football Classic towards scholarship assistance for disadvantaged New York City students. Each year, on the basis of academic promise and admission to college, 10 students are selected as scholarship recipients from a pool of 200 or more students citywide. The scholarships are for up to $2,500. The application will be distributed from the League offices, or can be downloaded here.
