Dollars For Scholars
Prospect Heights Dollars for Scholars is a locally operated and supported foundation operated by an all volunteer Board of Directors. The purpose of Dollars for Scholars is to expand access to educational opportunities by involving and assisting our community in the support of students and the encouragement of educational achievement.

Prospect Heights Dollars for Scholars is a chapter affiliate of Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America, Inc. (CSFA), a nationally recognized nonprofit student aid service organization.

Scholarships are open to Prospect Heights residents/students under the age of 21 who wish to attend college. Volunteers serving on an Award Committee score applications anonymously. Applicants receive points for a variety of qualities, including financial need, academic standing, school activities, and community involvement.

We encourage and appreciate donations to Prospect Heights Dollars for Scholars. Your contribution of $10, $100, or $1000 reflects your pride in our students and your commitment to the ongoing education of the young people of our community.
