About

The 2020 Young Alumni Challenge

And the ‘Fly Away with SYA’ Sweepstakes!


Four SYA Campuses. 3,394 Young Alumni. Unlimited impact. 


The 2020 Young Alumni Challenge begins December 3! 


This year, we’re asking SYA alumni from 2005-2019 to demonstrate strength in numbers by coming together to support the SYA experience and sponsor a Young Alumni Scholar. Every part of the incredible SYA experience that we know and love is made possible by the generosity of our alumni, and every gift has an impact.


But that’s not all! A donation to the SYA Fund will also count as an entry in this year’s Fly Away with SYA Sweepstakes with a chance to win a flight to the country of your SYA campus.* 


Each campus must get to 10% participation and all young alumni must raise one full tuition by June 30, 2020 to sponsor one SYA student as the Young Alumni Scholar in 2020-2021. Don't wait — join the challenge today!

*Donation not required to enter. See details and official rules here

This June, take a virtual journey around the world!

Dear Young Alums,

Alongside the 2020 Young Alumni Challenge, we’re also hosting ‘SYA’s Around the World in 30 Days’ this June, highlighting all the things that make SYA so special by posting pictures, sharing student and alumni stories, and highlighting ways in which SYA’s mission is relevant in today’s world.


Your support matters! SYA Fund gifts of all amounts provide the unrestricted, flexible funding needed to ensure that SYA can meet the unique needs of our students and faculty. Now more than ever, our students rely on you to continue their education in a safe and effective way. 

As we work toward reaching our $1.2 million SYA Fund goal by June 30, we  hope you’ll follow along with our daily updates here and on of social media pages! #SYA30Days
