MYA Youth Leadership Scholarship

McLean Youth Athletics (MYA) is committed to promoting leadership, sportsmanship and responsibility for the youth who participate in our sports programs. Each year many of the middle school and high school boys and girls who began as MYA players take leadership roles, such as coaches, referees, administrators or volunteers, within one or more MYA sport programs. To recognize the achievements of these youth, MYA annually awards Youth Leader Scholarships to local high school juniors and seniors who have enhanced their MYA participation by seeking opportunities to assume leadership positions within the organization. Our Youth Leader Scholarship program is designed to acknowledge and reward those MYA participants who have demonstrated the highest standards of integrity and responsibility by giving back to MYA and to the McLean community.
