The Jesse E. Williams III Scholarship Fund was established at the request of Jesse E. Williams, Jr., former Chief Probation Officer of the San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department. This Scholarship Fund was created to honor the memory of his son, Jesse E. Williams, Jr., who was the victim of a homicide. To apply for this scholarship or recommend a youth, please fill out an application form.
Eligible youth must be wards of the San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department, with a priority given to graduates of Log Cabin Ranch School.
The Sari Wade Memorial Scholarship is bestowed upon a youth who was a ward of the San Francisco Foster Care System and who is continuing their education beyond high school. The scholarship was created in loving memory of Sari Wade, a former board member and Child Welfare Worker, who dedicated more than thirty-eight years to assist youth in the foster care system. Sari Wade was a dedicated youth advocate, beloved board member, and voice of wisdom on behalf of San Francisco foster children. One of Sari's many passions was the pursuit of higher education, so in her honor City Youth Now recognizes and awards an outstanding youth who has emancipated from the foster care system and is attending college or university.
To apply for this scholarship or recommend a youth, please fill out an application form.
Both scholarships are awarded at our annual March dinner. The deadline to apply is the third Monday in February.
