Dallas Youth Sports Scholarship


About
In 2014, Dallas Youth Sports began to generate a scholarship fund with the sole purpose of aiding our youth seeking an higher education. Since then, DYS with the help of the Huerta Family Foundation and other organizational and individual contributions continue to grow their scholarship fund with the intention of aiding more students. Dallas Youth Sports promotes education, leadership, discipline, health and wellness through sports. This scholarship
and its benefactors emphasize "promoting education" in our youth.
