Dollars For Scholars could use
your help for ongoing students

By Davea Fisher

Scholarship applications for the Point Roberts Dollars for Scholars are now available. Just contact Davea Fisher, or student liaison Andrew Grubb, to receive a copy.

A student eligible for a DFS scholarship must be a permanent resident of Point Roberts and a student or individual that will use the scholarship for post secondary education. The applicant must be continuing his/her education at an academic, vocational/technical, or fine arts institution.

Students are eligible to re-apply for a scholarship as long as they are an on-going university student. The number of consecutive years that scholarships will be awarded to a single individual shall be decided on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the board.

The amount of funds available plus the number of new applicants will be taken into account. The priority of scholarships will continue to be the same: i.e. graduating high school students, on-going college students, adults returning to school, or undergraduates applying for enrichment courses.

This year Blaine high school seniors from the Point are: Tylor Alphenaar, William Cliff, Adam Dykstra, Eva Espinosa, Andrew Grubb, Casey Hubbard, Steven Kaufman, James Long, Dallas Martineau, Naomi Shucard, Rosemary Snell, Elyse Viner and Ryley White.

As you can see, just from the number of one group, (graduating seniors), the need is great. Donations are eagerly sought. All donations are tax-free. You may contribute by sending a check to: Dollars for Scholars, P.O. Box 2168, Point Roberts, WA 98281

A donation in the amount of $500 or more may be given in the name of a business or an individual. Recently we’ve received a $500 donation in memory of a family member, and a $25 donation in lieu of flowers for a departed friend. Donations of all sizes are gratefully received. What a wonderful way to express your love for family and friends and at the same time enrich the life of a student.
