Serving students since 1999...

OUR MISSION:

The mission of York Suburban Dollars for Scholars is to provide financial assistance for eligible York Suburban students to continue their education (based on financial need, scholastic merit, and achievement of academic potential), and to ultimately help students become responsible, dependable, capable community citizens and future community leaders.

 

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:

To provide an opportunity and hope to students who have the need, desire, and ability to continue their education. 

 

WHO WE ARE:

All work is done by a volunteer group of community and business leaders, alumni, students, parents, and educators, and all donations go to  benefit local York Suburban students and do not leave our community. We maintain local control but reap the benefits of national affiliation as a chapter member of the national Scholarship America network.

Heavy fundraising efforts early on helped the YS Dollars for Scholars chapter to establish an Endowment Fund, managed by the York County Community Foundation, which gives us stability as an organization and a guaranteed minimum in scholarship money each year. This also allows us to commit to students for what we call renewable scholarships.
