Seniors: The Citywide Scholarship Handbook is Here!

  • Dear Students, Families, and Supporters of Yonkers Public Schools,

    I am thrilled to introduce the 2024-2025 Yonkers Public Schools Scholarship Handbook, a resource designed to support and inspire our students as they take the next steps toward fulfilling their dreams. Within these pages, you will find a wealth of opportunities made possible by the unwavering commitment of our community, families, and partners.

    In Yonkers, we often speak of the “Yonkers Magic” – that unique blend of determination, creativity, and resilience that sets our students apart. It’s the magic that happens when our schools, families, and community unite to nurture the talents and ambitions of our young people. This booklet is a reflection of that magic, offering pathways for our students to turn their aspirations into reality.

    As you explore the scholarships available, I encourage you to recognize the power of your own potential. The opportunities here are not just financial resources, they are an investment in you – a recognition of your achievements and a belief in the bright future you are destined to create.

    To our donors and sponsors, thank you for being champions of our students. Your generosity transforms lives and helps ensure that every graduate has a chance to succeed.

    To our students, know that you carry the spirit of Yonkers Magic with you wherever you go. Whether you’re pursuing studies in science, the arts, business, or any other field, remember that you have a community behind you, cheering you on every step of the way. I cannot express enough how important it is that you take full advantage of these opportunities and apply for scholarships you are eligible for.

    Together, let us continue to create magic by fostering a culture of opportunity, equity, and excellence for all.

    Warm regards,

    Aníbal Soler, Jr.
