And getting started couldn't be easier, just:
- Contact the Indiana Dollars for Scholars office at toll free 1-866-877-1172 or nalexander@scholarshipamerica.org to request a "How to Organize a Dollars for Scholars Chapter" Kit, or download the information below:
- About Dollars for Scholars: Overview, Community Benefits, Getting Started and More
- Indiana Dollars for Scholars Fact Sheet
- Review the information and call 1-866-877-1172 if you have any questions or would like to meet with an Indiana Dollars for Scholars representative in person.
- Be willing to provide a meeting location (media center/library, board room, etc.) for planning committee meetings and informational meetings for the community.
- Begin thinking of community/education leaders in your community who might be willing to serve on a short term planning committee to get a chapter off and running. Invite them to attend an information meeting that the Indiana Dollars for Scholars staff will organize and manage.
