The Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield awards more than $85,000.00 annually in college scholarships to former Club members and staff pursuing a degree in higher education. The goal of the Boys & Girls Club’s Scholarship Program is to give members an opportunity to reach their goals by attending college or trade school. Scholarship recipients are selected and interviewed annually by the Boys & Girls Club Scholarship Committee appointed by the Board of Directors.

YOUTH OF THE YEAR

In February of each year, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield awards a $12,000.00 Youth of the Year Scholarship to one member. This member is chosen from the twelve Youth of the Month winners during an interview process in January. For more information about the YOUTH OF THE YEAR and YOUTH OF THE MONTH Program please contact Cindy Dodson, Scholarship Outreach Director.

DUAL ENROLLMENT

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield now offers to pay the DUAL ENROLLMENT fees for any current member taking high school classes for college credit. Talk to your teen director today or email Cindy Dodson at cdodson@bgclubspringfield.org.
