The PbS Scholarship Award was created in 2016 to encourage and support post-secondary education for young people and staff at PbS facilities. We know education is critical for creating opportunities and closing educational equity gaps. Most young people who are, or have been entangled in the juvenile justice system face tremendous barriers to advancing their education because of their system involvement. For those who are accepted and make it to the point where the remaining obstacle is funding, the PbS Scholarship Award gives them the final boost they need.
Applications are typically accepted from February through March.
