LOYA’s Scholarship Program
Education breaks the cycle to make dreams become a reality.
Since the founding of LOYA in 2010, our goals have been to assist Greene and Putnam County students in reaching higher and achieving their dreams. In 2017 we began to redesign our programs towards encouraging post-secondary career pathways, and aiding in college matriculation. Since 2010, over 500 students have been mentored, and since 2018 we have awarded 52 students four-year college scholarships.

“We thought that getting into college was the challenge. The challenge is money for college.”
Working collaboratively with the high school guidance counselors and community leaders in Greene and Putnam Counties, we also assist students entering college with various needs to help them be successful.
