Diamond Youth Foundation Scholarship Program

 

Our mission is to increase student awareness of potential career choices through exposure to a variety of disciples and role models, and mentoring.  One of the DYF's primary goals is to provide financial assistance to deserving individuals in the quest of higher education culminating in a four (4) year baccalaureate degree from a fully accredited institution.
