The Alexander and Maude Hadden Scholarship is funded by Youth Foundation, a non-profit organization started in 1940 by Alexander and Maude Hadden. Its primary role is to award scholarships to exceptional students who might not otherwise have an opportunity to pursue an undergraduate degree.
In addition, Youth Foundation seeks students who, through volunteer work, are dedicated to improving their own lives and the lives of others. The foundation seeks to instill in youth a sense of confidence, responsibility and self-discipline.
Applicants must complete and return an application, proof of grades, SAT or ACT scores, financial statements, an essay, and two letters of recommendation. An interview may also be required.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in FEBRUARY of each year, and the award amount is usually $2,500 - $4,000.
