Vision For MYLA

To foster Youth Leaders in Minnesota
To encourage active participation of the youth in Community Activities (volunteerism), outreach activities, and to be good citizens of the community
To encourage higher education of future leaders.
To provide youth with additional monetary compensation so that they can spend time organizing youth oriented and community outreach activities rather than working low paying jobs to pay for their education.
To encourage youth to participate in activities that promote diversity and tolerance and to work towards eliminating prejudice and discrimination by educating the public on other cultures, with a focus on the Islamic and Muslim cultures.

This award has been established to assist, prepare and encourage the future leaders in our communities. This is intended to instill and encourage a spirit of community service in the youth along with their educational endeavors.

For this year there are ten awards; see the available scholarship by clicking here. The recipients will be announced by the Scholarship Board by mid - August 2006.

Once the decision has been made all applicants will be sent a letter regarding the results. Awards must be used for tuition fees during the Academic Year 2006-2007.
