About Dollars for Scholars
At the heart of Scholarship America lies our Dollars for Scholars division—nearly 1,000 locally based, volunteer-driven chapters serving students in 2,850 communities across the country. With support from our national office and six regional offices, Dollars for Scholars chapters help hometown students achieve their educational goals by raising scholarship funds, establishing endowments, providing assistance with college readiness and the financial aid process, and distributing scholarships each year.
ChapterNet
