Canton Dollars for Scholars announces 2018 season

Canton Dollars for Scholars announces their 2018 scholarship season. Online applications will be accepted starting Thursday, March 1 and ending on Saturday, March 31. High school seniors residing in Canton may apply regardless of whether they attend Canton High School or a private, parochial or homeschool program. Non-residents graduating from Canton are welcome to apply, though some scholarships are limited to Canton residents only. Scholarships are offered for a broad range of post-secondary programs including vocational and technical schools as well as two-year and four-year college degrees.

Canton Dollars for Scholars seeks the well-rounded student who is achieving his or her personal best grades while serving the school, community and the greater good. CDFS focuses on school involvement, work and community commitments. Teacher recommendations and financial information are not considered or required, however, the student may provide this info if they want to pursue certain national scholarships through our parent organization, Scholarship America.

Students and parents can find information on both local Canton scholarships and national awards by visiting the CDFS website at www.canton.dollarsforscholars.org. Anyone interested in making a donation to support our scholarship programs should visit the website as well.
