Panda Cares Scholars Program

The Panda Cares Scholars Program celebrates and supports outstanding high school junior and senior Club members who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and academic rigor on their path towards a great future. Each year, the Panda Cares Scholars Program will award 200 winners with scholarships of either $2,500 or $5,000, totaling $750,000 annually. The Panda Cares Scholars Program is an extension of Panda Cares Foundation’s long-standing investment in the success and future of Boys & Girls Club youth. These scholarships will help ensure Club youth have the financial support to continue their academic journey after high school graduation.
