Application Procedure:
There are two parts to the YMTA scholarship process. First, students submit their full application to PSM’s YMTA program. The YMTA Committee will review all applications and invite several applicants to participate in the second phase – the educational project. This second phase is an oral report, presented to a panel of judges. All applicants invited to the second phase will be awarded a scholarship; the oral presentations will be scored to determine the amount of your award.
