Eastside Youth Award Scholarship

Each year at our Eastside Extravaganza, we honor two young people with the Eastside Youth Award. This honor is given to youth who demonstrate extraordinary contributions to their communities or families through academic achievement, volunteerism and leadership. Awardees also receive a $2,500 scholarship toward their post-secondary school or training. This year’s Eastside Youth Awardees will be selected based on our scholarship application.
