Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of Dighton-Rehoboth Dollars for Scholars®

$39,475 in Scholarships Awarded to 63 D-R Seniors Class of 2015
CSF of Dighton-Rehoboth distributes 100% of all funds collected the entire amount directly to students by awarding them scholarships. Specific safeguards are built in so that all scholarships are awarded to students deserving scholarship assistance and that funds are used for their intended educational purpose. A total of $39,475 was dispersed to 63 members of the Class of 2015.

This was the 55th consecutive year that the CSF presented scholarships to D-R graduates, the first time being to the Class of 1961 on June 14 of that year.

How it Works
All of the recipients took part in CSF's Door-to-Door campaign, going to residences throughout their hometowns. Each team was led by a Captain from that town, to coordinate the routes and liaison with the Foundation. This year's Captains successfully endured and overcame difficulties from the persistent storms of "Snow-Mageddon" that presented logistical challenges.

Going only to Seniors who engage in the Door-to-Door Campaign, CSF Scholarships are not limited to only a four-year plan. They also can be used for any accredited form of higher education, provided it is for a standard degree or certificate of study of Career or Training Education.

Seniors have submitted applications for being a Captain for the Door-to-Door Campaign of 2016 and the CSF committee is evaluating them.
