Is there a better approach than repeat all the statments for every cfnumGrantAmount property using javascript?

I am repeating the following statements for each Year Amount(e.g cfnumGrantAmountY1,cfnumGrantAmountY2,cfnumGrantAmountY3,cfnumGrantAmountY4) and adding them to the globalScholarsL3Data array if they exist in the validScholars object. Can the following code be improved instead of repeating the following statements for each year:

JavaScript:
const validScholars = [
  {
"sfParentID": "8633154",
  "cfScholarshipAwardforAcademicYear": "21000",
  "sfStatusID": "50298",
  "cfScholarPhone": "315-263-7593",
  "sfTypeID": "49613",
  "cftxtIntendedProfession": "",   
 "cfnumGrantAmountY1": "100",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY2": "101",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY3": "102",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY4": "103"
  },
  {
"sfParentID": "8633154",
  "cfScholarshipAwardforAcademicYear": "21000",
  "sfStatusID": "50298",
  "cfScholarPhone": "315-263-7593",
  "sfTypeID": "49613",
  "cftxtIntendedProfession": "",   
 "cfnumGrantAmountY1": "1",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY2": "2",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY3": "",
    "cfnumGrantAmountY4": "4"
  }
]

validScholars.forEach(item => {
                  const TempArrayData = [];
                  if(!!item["cfnumGrantAmountY1"] || !!item["cfnumGrantAmountY2"] || !!item["cfnumGrantAmountY3"] || !!item["cfnumGrantAmountY4"]) {
                   
                    if(!!item["cfnumGrantAmountY1"]) {
                      TempArrayData.push({
                        "recordid":"0",
                        "objectid":"0",
                        "sf_Parent ID":item["recordid"],
                        "sf_Type ID":"50300",      
                        "sf_Level Three ID":"0",

                        "cf_1538387":item["cfnumGrantAmountY1"],
                      });
                    }

                    if(!!item["cfnumGrantAmountY2"]) {
                      TempArrayData.push({
                        "recordid":"0",

- as long as you have "code pattern repeating", you can shorten your code by "writing functions".

- you use a JSON data formating, you're working by "associatives Arrays" ( pairs of " keys " and " values " ),
so acting on one single key is easy with associative Arrays.

- to avoid the long long 4 Amount years , you can use an Array in your global Array:
JSON:
.."cftxtIntendedProfession","cfNumGrantAmountYears": {1,2,3,4,5} }

Very smart, working, can you please explain why Y was never defined?

const Y was defined inside the retVal function:

JavaScript:
const n = 'cfnumGrantAmountY' + i,
            Y = i - 1;
