Youth Matter, Inc. cares about the future of our youth. We raise funds to offer two types of scholarship programs for youth in the region of Hampton Roads Virginia.

  1. H.R. LONG SUMMER CAMP SCHOLARSHIP FUND
  2. YMI COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The purpose is:

  • To help a student pay for camp or a college education.
  • To supplement college costs, from tuition to books to room and board.
  • To assist school ages students who don’t have money to attend summer camp.

There are lots of scholarship programs in existence; however, there are still many children who need financial support. Our scholarships go toward college educations and summer camps. Donations are sort from individuals and corporations. Scholarships will be awarded to two students in the amount of $500 each for their college education and two students in the amount of $250 each for a summer camp program. Mor scholarships are awarded based on funds raised. An application criteria and a scholarship fund application form are required to apply. Part of the criteria requires a brief essay on "What are my dreams and how do I plan to achieve them?" A Scholarship Fund Committee reviews the applications and made the awards. The scholarships will be awarded in May or June of each year.
