Ferndale Dollars for Scholars is a locally operated and supported, non-profit, tax-exempt scholarship chapter affiliated with Citizens/Scholarships Foundation of America, Inc. Operated by an all volunteer Board of Directors, the purpose is to expand access to educational opportunities by involving and assisting our community in the support of students and in the encouragement of educational achievement.
Through Dollars for Scholars, the Ferndale community has the opportunity to make a strong, collective statement about the importance of education beyond high school. We can provide both encouragement and financial support for local students.
Ferndale dollars for Scholars believes any sincere and determined person should have the opportunity to continue his or her education after high school graduation. Scholarships can be for two-year, four-year, or vocational and technical colleges. Graduating seniors from the Ferndale School District may be eligible.
By completing a common application form available at each high school or through this website, students become eligible for several local awards. The selection process is objective and non-discriminatory, making scholarships available to a wide range of deserving students planning to attend an accredited post-secondary institution.
Each year our community will be invited to demonstrate support for our local students through a variety of fund-raising activities. Funds may also come from the support of local business, service organizations, and individuals who desire to sponsor scholarships in their name.
