We Help Our Community's Students Succeed Through Scholarships

Canastota Dollars for Scholars^® is a non-profit foundation that supports academic success in our community. As part of Scholarship America's^® national network of locally based, volunteer-driven Dollars for Scholars chapters, our mission is to mobilize our community on behalf of postsecondary education success for our students.

Dollars for Scholars chapters like ours 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.  With the high cost of postsecondary education and increasing reliance on loans, local scholarship programs play a critical role in assuring that deserving individuals will have access to programs and choices that best meet their needs.  Dollars for Scholars volunteers believe that higher education is our best investment and want to assist motivated and deserving students achieve their goals.

Funds come from the generous support of local businesses, service organizations, and individuals.  All monies raised for our chapter go to assist CHS students. 

Proudly supporting the students from the Canastota community!
