What is Syracuse Foundation, Inc. Dollars for Scholars

Syracuse Foundation, Inc. Dollars for Scholars is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides academic financial assistance to seniors graduating from Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca High School.

Established to help deserving area youth pursue higher education, the Syracuse Chapter has awarded more than $60,000 in scholarships since its inception in 2003!

How are scholarships funded?

Donations from people like you are the main source of funding for these scholarships. Supplemental funding may also be received from matching grants, memorials, in-kind donations, and local organizations.

Why donate to this program?

Matching funds - any amount you donate is multiplied through a grant for matching funds for which we apply each year. The grant provides 100% matching funds for the first $2000 we raise, plus $250 for each additional $1000 in donations.

Each year, a portion of the matching funds are invested to earn interest and be available to draw upon in future years... so the donation you make today will help keep the scholarship program growing strong for years to come!

Plus, "Dollars for Scholars" is a nationally recognized program and as such, more than 400 colleges, universities and post secondary schools across the U.S. agree not to reduce a student's grant aid due to scholarships received from Dollars for Scholars. Some of these institutions also match Dollars for Scholars awards!
