Across the nation, Scholarship America's programs -- including Dollars for Scholars -- have given out $2.5 billion to nearly 2 million students since our founding 50 years ago.

In our community, our chapter has made a big impact on the lives of students as well. Since the consolidation of the Jackson and Lakefield School systems in 1998, our chapter has awarded 267 scholarships totaling nearly $210,000 to help JCC seniors with the cost of higher education.

We do this by fund raising in our community and generous donations from those in partnership with wanting to help youth succeed in higher education aspirations.
