Youth Grants
TORCH – PROM Scholarships
December 2017
This proposal was submitted by the TORCH Youth Advisory Board. Recognizing that Prom is a quintessential part of high school, and unfortunately many students feel they can’t go because they cannot afford the cost, their hope was to provide scholarships for students to reduce the price of a prom ticket. The $50 ticket price creates a barrier for many at the high school. The TORCH Youth Advisory Board will create a process for all youth that are interested in assistance with the ticket price to apply for these scholarships and they will distribute based on demonstrated need. The YouthBank team was excited to fund this project because of the impact it will have on decreasing socioeconomic barriers within school and the fact that the program will be run by the TORCH Youth Advisory Board.
