ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP 
AWARDS

Annual Scholarship Awards Gala

In early 2015, Club Stride hosted its first Annual Scholarship Awards Gala.  Awards and scholarships are presented to youth and young adults ages of 15 and 24 who demonstrate a commitment to community, academics, church and family.  Each young leader and/or humanitarian must actively operate in a talent or gift to positively impact and/or influence others.  Each candidate is encouraged to demonstrate how they use their own talents or gifts to contribute to others. 

 

Participants are awarded scholarships for their achievement in three categories:  leadership, humanitarianism and/or academics.

Registration will begin April 1, 2024.
