Studiiyo Scholars

Kingfield is partnering with Studiiyo23, a member favorite and business neighbor, to back and grow their Studiiyo Scholars program.

Studiiyo Scholars is an initiative that aims to support and develop underprivileged youth in our community. Save the date! During regular class time on Sunday, September 19th at 8 AM and 9 AM, you’re invited to sweat in solidarity alongside your friends and fellow members in a community workout. Buy in for the workout by donating your time and/or money to support the Studiiyo Scholars program.

The Studiiyo Scholars initiative targets students who may not have the family support or financial resources to further their education beyond their high school years. The goal of the program is to motivate and support underprivileged teens. Although the scholarships are available to anyone who qualifies, Studiiyo Scholars focuses on supporting women, minorities, and first-generation college students. In addition to financial support, Studiiyo Scholars also strives to develop and support students through mentorships focusing on but not limited to: Academics, Financial Literacy, Leadership, Personal Health and Wellness, and Entrepreneurship.
