The Liberty Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship offered by the Libertarian Party of Yolo County to encourage Yolo County students in their pursuit of higher education. These funds may be used by students to help pay the costs of tuition, books or other school expenses in one of Yolo County's institutions of higher learning or a nearby Sacramento college. It is offered to one graduating high school student, one community college student and one UC Davis student each year. <\/p>\n
\"The Libertarian way is a caring, people-centered approach to politics. We believe each individual is unique. We want a system that respects the individual and encourages us to discover the best within ourselves and develop our full potential,\" said party chairman Stephen Blakeman in a statement, \"which is why we want to be part of the solution and reach out to those in our community who need some help getting started.\" <\/p>\n
Scholarship applications will be accepted from Jan. 1 through March 31. Winning students will be notified by the Scholarship Committee of the LPYC by April 30. <\/p>\n
