Our Mission
We will
- Provide Leadership to develop and support a network of community-based scholarship
organizations across the state.
- Encourage local philanthropy for local students and to support their attendance at all types of post-secondary education.
- Increase scholarship opportunities at the state and national levels through programs such as Collegiate Partners and Community Service Awards.
Our Core Values
- We exist to change people’s lives through education. An educated citizenry and workforce
is crucial to the future of a strong democratic nation and a more peaceful world.
- We exist to serve Dollars for Scholars chapters and not to have chapters serve the state organization.
- Integrity is at the core of all actions. We are professional and committed to supporting
chapter development as it best fits the local community needs and culture.
- Collaboration is recognized as critical to growth. We will work with post-secondary education institutions and other related programs to make more scholarship opportunities available to North Dakota students and thereby reduce their education debt.
