Again, thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and bid on silent auction items!
Our collaboration with the high school and local community to host Scholarship Power Hour, College Application Month, and attend the 2019-2020 Annual Conference allowed us to qualify for the donation. These events encouraged families to become more aware of the opportunities available in the state for planning and financing post-secondary education.
Our local chapter plans to distribute $27,000 to local high school students and recent college graduates this year. Events such as Home Game Sponsorship and the Annual Big Draw Downto increase the funds available for the students. Individuals and families may donate directly to the local chapter. You may do so by contacting any board member.
Kenmare Dollars for Scholars Attends Annual NDDFS Conference
Earlier this month, representatives Becky Huizenga (treasurer) & Amy Harris (volunteer) from our chapter attended the Annual ND Dollars for Scholars Conference in Carrington.
We learned how crucial it is to make connections within our community by asking more critical questions, doing better consulting, and engaging volunteers across generations. It was another great conference that provided essential takeaways to help our chapter grow and continue to support local students in furthering their education!
