The Mott Family Scholarship Now Currently Accepting Applications!

The Mott Family Scholarship was started by Mr. Charles H. Mott who was a committed member of our Board of Directors for over 50 years.

Mr. Mott is a strong supporter of continued education and life-long learning beyond high school. The scholarship provides youth in Together for Youth’s care with the opportunity to continue their education beyond high school. Recipients of the scholarship will be selected based on a combination of the applicant’s financial need, merit, and essay.
