History of DYB Scholarships From the very beginning, the leaders of Dixie Youth Baseball knew they wanted to develop a college scholarship program that would help former players obtain a college education. There wasn't much money in the beginning. The first eligible players graduated in 1961, one $500 scholarship and one $250 scholarship were awarded. And from its modest beginning, the scholarship program has grown into an impressive venture in awarding scholarships to college freshmen. While the scholarship awards began with modest awards in 1961, Dixie Youth Baseball now awards eighty one (81) $2,000 scholarships annually. Total awards since inception of the scholarship program now number 1,340 with an aggregate value of $2,448,950. Dixie Youth funds its scholarships through interest on funds earmarked for DYB, scholarships, new donations received annually, and any surplus funds transferred from the general operating funds of the program. Qualifications are simple; actually, there is only one qualification - the person must have at one time played in a Dixie Youth Baseball league. There is no relationship between the award of a scholarship and athletic ability. In the selection process, the Scholarship Committee, composed of National Directors, does give weight to such other factors as financial need, scholastic record and citizenship. Only students entering college for the first time may apply for a scholarship. Total cumulative DYB scholarship awards by state are: North Carolina 185, Alabama 171, Tennessee 168, South Carolina 167, Louisiana 125, Texas 125, Mississippi 118, Florida 83, Virginia 75, Georgia 70 and Arkansas 53.
