BTW Graduate Earns Simon Youth Scholarship

Woodland Hills Mall honored Madison Dill, a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, with a $1,500 scholarship check presentation in July. The scholarship is provided by Simon Youth Foundation, a national nonprofit that champions educational opportunities for students of all backgrounds. Each year, SYF awards a scholarship to a deserving student who lives within 50 miles of a Simon property.
Dill plans to attend Oklahoma State University this fall. Throughout her high school career, she was involved in several activities including the Spanish Club, Girls Rise Club, National Honor Society, National Society of High School Scholars, National Hispanic Honor Society and was co-editor of the yearbook. She was also very active in her church, serving as a member of the Chapel Choir, Bell Choir and United Methodist Women.
Simon Youth Foundation is a national nonprofit committed to helping students reach graduation day. SYF works toward this mission by partnering with local public school districts to launch Simon Youth Academies, alternative classroom settings located primarily in Simon Malls that provide students at risk of dropping out with the personalized support needed to reach graduation day, and by providing Simon Youth Scholarships to graduating seniors who live near Simon centers. Since its inception, SYF has maintained a 90 percent graduation rate at its 35 Simon Youth Academies in 15 states, helping more than 17,000 students earn their high school diplomas, and has awarded $17 million in scholarships.
