Description:
Our mission is to ensure access to postsecondary education for all students through financial aid and support. Through our inspiring group of programs, we provide resources and structure for cities, school districts, companies, foundations and individuals who would like to transform the lives of exceptional and diverse students' in order to create a better nation through education. In 1958, an Optometrist in Fall River, Mass., had a simple but profound idea-if everyone in his community gave just a dollar to an educational fund, it would be enough to help nearly every student in the community who wanted to attend college. Dr. Irving Fradkin called his plan 'Dollars for Scholars,' and it has expanded into what, today, is the nation's largest non-profit, private-sector scholarship and educational support organization. Since its founding, Scholarship America has distributed more than $1.5 billion to more than 1.5 million students across the country through various programs including Dollars for Scholars and Scholarship Management Services. As we enter our second half-century of helping students, we invite you to come and be a part of our mission by donating or volunteering today.
