Dollars For Scholars
Become a Chapter
The key to establishing a successful Dollars for Scholars chapter starts with gathering a planning committee – a strong core group of community leaders with a shared interest in the educational development of local students. Since this group will play an important leadership role in the formation of a local foundation – and since Dollars for Scholars works best when it has widespread support, it should represent a broad cross-section of the community.
Once the decision to affiliate with Dollars for Scholars has been made:
- Complete the forms for affiliation
- Elect chapter leadership
- Adopt chapter bylaws
- Determine chapter goals and objectives
