Our local organization is a chapter of Scholarship of America, Inc., an affiliate of Dollars for Scholars. The increasing cost of higher education, the increasing importance of a full and complete education to the limits of personal ability, and the increasing number of qualified young people all point to a need for greater support. Last year we were able to provide over 100 recipients with scholarships averaging $500 per award with a total dollar value of over $70,000. We are proud of this accomplishment and grateful to our communities for making this possible.
