Although Youthlinc organizes the annual search for Utah's Young Humanitarian - Utah's largest service scholarship, a $5,000 Award - our Organization only facilitates. Many thanks to the George S. & Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation for funding the Award, and three $1,000 runner up Awards.
Many thanks also to our Local Service Director, Julia Wee, who has spent countless hours:
> promoting the search to news outlets and in every secondary school, college, and university in Utah.
> preparing and distributing application materials.
> sending out invitations to community leaders to judge the competition.
> receiving & compiling & tabulating the judging packets
> communicating with our applicants
> setting up a wonderful morning of interviews today with our top 14 finalists.
The results of the 2011 search -- the top four candidates as selected by our interview judges -- will be announced this week. The 2011 Utah Young Humanitarian will be announced at our Annual Benefit Thursday, May 19 at La Caille. Please join us by rsvping office@youthlinc.org $75 p/p
