Youth Scholarships

The Indiana District and Foundation generously provide scholarships to all 18 clubs in our district. This support is designed to help students from diverse educational environments achieve their academic and career goals. By offering these scholarships, The Exchange aims to foster educational opportunities and empower students across our district community. Our commitment underscores the value of investing in the future of local youth.

A.C.E. (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) of the Year honors students who have overcome adversity to graduate from high school and move their lives in positive directions. These students are often overlooked for their accomplishments and can serve as powerful examples to all students that hard work and perseverance do pay off.

Youth of the Year honors outstanding students who have exhibited excellence in academics and leadership. Recipients serve as role models to their peers by exhibiting exceptional scholastic achievement, respect for self and others, and ambitious career goals.

Student winners for club scholarship for the year will qualify for the district competition, and district officers can submit up to two district winners who are eligible to be recognized at the National level, which awards a $15,000 scholarship to each student winning one of the three awards. In total, the National Exchange Club has awarded over a million dollars to scholarship recipients.
