Simon Youth Foundation

Simon Youth Foundation (SYF) is a national nonprofit committed to helping students graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary educational opportunities. SYF executes this mission by partnering with local public school districts to launch Simon Youth Academies, through which students at risk of dropping out of high school receive the personalized support needed to earn their diplomas, and by providing renewable Simon Youth Scholarships to graduating seniors who live near Simon Malls. Since its inception, SYF has maintained a 90 percent graduation rate at its national network of Simon Youth Academies, helping thousands of students earn their high school diplomas, and awarded more than $1 million annually in Simon Youth Scholarships.
