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 1,421 with an aggregate value of $2,610,950. 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. To apply, an applicant have at one time played in a Dixie Youth Baseball league in any 12 and under age division. 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 factors as scholastic record, citizenship and financial need. Only students entering college for the first time may apply for a scholarship. The scholarship is for the freshman year only. Total cumulative DYB scholarship awards by state are: North Carolina 191, Alabama 187, South Carolina 174, Tennessee 173, Texas 136, Mississippi 130, Louisiana 128, Florida 90, Virginia 79, Georgia 75 and Arkansas 58.
