South Carolina Youth Challenge Academy Foundation
The mission of the South Carolina Youth Challenge Foundation is to provide financial scholarship assistance to the graduating Youth Challenge Academy Cadets that wish to pursue their higher education goals and to ensure that no YCA applicant is refused acceptance because they do not have the financial resources for the required personal items they must provide. We support Youth Challenge Academy and encourage each Cadet to complete the Youth Challenge Academy Program and be successful in pursuing their higher education and career goals.
