The Chittenango-Bridgeport Dollars for Scholars Committee is made up of volunteers who work throughout the year to raise money to award to students. The community truly is the driving force behind this amazing opportunity, with donations coming from community members and businesses throughout the area.
“Dollars for Scholars exists due to the generous support we have received from community members, local businesses, the Board of Education and school faculty, staff and administration,” said Amy Bailey, Dollars for Scholars President. “Truly, these scholarships represent this community’s commitment to helping students achieve success in college and career.”
