Due: March 1

Who Can Apply: Juniors and Seniors

Amount: $1,500 – $7,500

To be considered for the Utah Young Humanitarian Award, applicants must submit all components of the application—including the two essay questions, two letters of recommendation, and completed application form—before the deadline. Evaluation will focus on the quality of essays and letters of recommendation, with a primary emphasis on demonstrated, sustained, and focused service efforts benefiting individuals or communities in need. Ideal candidates will exhibit strong leadership skills, a history of consistent service, hands-on involvement, self-motivation, collaboration with others, and a tangible, positive impact within Utah.

The Utah Young Humanitarian Award scholarship requires recipients to serve as ambassadors for one year, representing the organization and the values of service it promotes.

As part of this ambassadorship, recipients will attend at least three engagements arranged by the Young Humanitarian Award Director, where they will share their experiences, inspire others, and promote Youthlinc’s mission of creating lifetime humanitarians.

Engagements include, but are not limited to: Youthlinc Annual Benefit, Utah Global Diplomacy’s Youth Summit, First Lady Abby Cox’s Show Up Initiatives, and My Impact Challenge. In addition, they will act as representatives for Youthlinc and the scholarship program, helping to spread awareness about the impact of sustained, meaningful service and encouraging others to participate in community-focused efforts.
