​The Youth Advisory Council of the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation is partnering with an award-winning nonprofit, YouthRoots. YouthRoots, is a community-based nonprofit that teaches high school students how to make the world a better place while developing their leadership and life skills through youth philanthropy. 
This is a program for all types of leaders and students! YouthRoots looks for diversity of applicants in terms of age, gender, school, race/ethnicity, and leadership capability. 
Applications are online at www.youthroots.org/apply (Due August 19th) 
Program starts  in September.

The inaugural Argus Leader First Class program will honor 12 first-generation college students in the Sioux Falls metro area.
These students would be the first in their family to make college attainment a reality. The goal is to recognize these high-potential students and provide them with more than a scholarship. We want to create opportunities, to take the “unknown” out of the often-intimidating process of applying for admission and scholarships to colleges and universities.
For that reason, we’re now recognizing juniors so we can work with them and our program partner through their senior year to prepare for college.

The Argus Leader will give each scholar no less than $1,000 toward the cost of any university, college or technical institute of their choosing.
If a student chooses to attend Augustana, they’ll receive a $2,000 scholarship in addition to the university’s generous academic scholarships.
