Youthlinc is pleased to announce the awarding of five academic scholarships honoring Real Life high school seniors and college students of refugee or immigrant background.  We would like to recognize the Low Family Foundation, the Barker Charitable Foundation and an anonymous donor for their contributions to make this award possible.  In 2020, we awarded one $5,000 winner, one $3,000 winner and three $2,000 winners for a total of $14,000 in college scholarships.   Rock Douka
