Aspiring Scholars of Yorba Linda

2025 Scholarships Are Open! 

Background: 

The YLCC Foundation started as the Education Committee for the Chamber of Commerce, tasked with providing scholarships to local students. It was decided in 2020 to create an official Foundation that would provide the opportunity for expanding the scholarship program. Since 2022, the Foundation has grown to now provide scholarships for many local students within the community. Our Foundation relies on donations from events, and payments from E-Waste Recycling in order to fund these scholarships.
