Educational Scholarship

Overview

The Teen Graffiti Legacy Scholarship was created to honor the long-standing commitment of Teen Graffiti magazine to youth empowerment and creative expression. Today, this scholarship continues under Teens Reaching Teens, Inc.—our nonprofit arm dedicated to promoting literacy, leadership, and academic excellence among young people.

Each year, the scholarship recognizes a graduating high-school senior who demonstrates academic achievement, leadership, and a passion for making a positive difference through literacy, creativity, or community service.

Our Purpose

At Teens Reaching Teens, Inc., we believe education is the key to opportunity. This scholarship encourages students to pursue higher education and to use their gifts to inspire others—whether through storytelling, service, or social impact.

By investing in tomorrow’s leaders today, we continue the Teen Graffiti legacy of giving youth a platform to dream, learn, and lead.
