Beverly M. Burton Scholarship Trust
Youth of the Year

The Youth of the Year Award will be selected by the Boys & Girls Clubs through their Youth of the Year Program. The recipient will then receive the $10,000 Beverly M. Burton Scholarship to be used towards their pursuit of a higher education. This program recognizes an individual who exhibits outstanding commitment to their community, church, family, and their club. By recognizing their achievements and hard work, the impact reaches many more than just the recipient: The Youth of the Year Program gives hope and recognition where none exists.
