SRLA Scholarship Program

20121129_NikeLARun_CB37B9A.jpg

Each Spring, SRLA makes available to graduating high school seniors a limited number of $500 scholarships, payable directly to the school of enrollment, for post-secondary education (including two or four-year colleges, trade schools, or fine arts programs). These scholarships are available to all active Students Run LA seniors from approved schools who took part in the 2023 Los Angeles Marathon, who are graduating from high school by Summer 2023, and who plan to pursue post-secondary education or vocational training next Fall.

UPDATE, May 2023: SRLA scholarship recipients have been announced, please scroll down for a full list of winners. Congratulations to each and everyone of our scholars!

 

Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship Program

The Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship Program was established in 2019 to help SRLA students achieve their academic dreams for generations to come.

The Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship applicants must demonstrate a 3.0 GPA throughout high school, participate in community service projects, and have completed the 2023 Los Angeles Marathon. Recipients of the Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship will receive a $1,000 scholarship payable over two years and receive FREE race entries to SRLA hosted races. Participating in SRLA events while in college provides SRLA alumni access to the supportive, encouraging environment of SRLA, and they, in turn, will become role models for, and provide a valuable resource to, current SRLA students.

Update, May 2023: The 2023 Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship recipients have been announced. This year’s Honda Power of Dreams Scholarship Recipients are…

Amy Lopez - Girls Leadership Academy - Mount Saint Mary's University

Eilyn Garcia - Downtown Magnet High - University of Southern California

Jesus Santiago - Hamilton High School - California State University Fullerton

Jimena Dorado - Port of LA High - University of California Los Angeles

Yuan Kai Yang - Wilson High School - University of California San Diego

 

2023 Senior Scholarships Announced

It is with great pleasure that Students Run LA was able to award scholarships to 125 of its graduating seniors who took part in the 2022-2023 SRLA Season. For many of these students SRLA gave them the tools, resources, and community they needed to achieve their college dreams.

The recipients of our scholarships graduated from 72 different high schools over the Greater Los Angeles area, and will attend colleges or universities from California to the East coast. Their high school experience was doubtlessly filled with challenges and uncertainties, but these 125 students have stayed the course to complete the Los Angeles Marathon, graduate high school, and pursue a higher education. We could not be more proud of these scholars.

These recipients not only represent the best of their schools, but they have achieved an elite status—completing a 26.2-mile marathon, a feat accomplished by only a fraction of the population. This achievement requires resolve, perseverance, focus and determination, all qualities required to find success at college or university.

It is with gratitude and appreciation to all supporters that many of our students will have the opportunity to realize their dreams of going to college.

Congratulations to all in the graduating Class of 2023!

REACH ACADEMY FOR YOUNG MEN

Reach Academy for Young Men embraces diver­sity and values the integrity of the indi­vid­ual. Indi­vid­ual differ­ences of reli­gion, culture, socioe­co­nomic status, national origin, race, ethnic­ity, biolog­i­cal sex, gender iden­tity, gender expres­sion, sexual orien­ta­tion, phys­i­cal appear­ance, and ability are acknowl­edged and respected. Every member of the commu­nity strives to behave in a sensi­tive, open, and respectful manner.

A diverse student body is an essen­tial compo­nent of an expe­ri­en­tial educa­tion. Students are most able to under­stand, appre­ci­ate, and respect differ­ences in a setting that includes these differ­ences. Reach Academy for Young Men seeks a diverse commu­nity in order to fulfill its mission to provide a strong, human­is­tic educa­tion for all students.

Scholarships available for SRLA students! For more information about the program, please check out the website here.
