We Help Our Community's Students Succeed Through Scholarships

 

Harrisburg Dollars for Scholars® is a local volunteer-operated, nonprofit organization that is a community based scholarship foundation, legally affiliated with Scholarship America®.  Dollars for Scholars is organized to provide local high school graduates with financial aid, personal encouragement and support to pursue higher levels of academic achievement.

Harrisburg Dollars for Scholars was established in 1992.  We started with a dream and a goal - to award as many scholarships as possible to graduating Seniors, who qualify.  Since 1992 we have awarded hundreds of scholarships.

If a student is selected to receive a scholarship, the award will be made after the student completes one full semester, term or grading period from their university, college or vocational school and submits a transcript showing they have taken 9 credit hours and received no lower that a 2.0 grade point average.  Students must also show that they are registered and are taking 9 credit hours on their second semester, term or grading period.  Must be completed within one (1) academic year (Fall term through Spring term) to receive scholarship award.
