Year in Review 2020: Point Roberts Dollars for Scholars

Thank you, Point Roberts!

As one of Scholarship America’s national network of locally-based, volunteer-driven Dollars for Scholars chapters, our mission is to mobilize our community to ensure education success for our Point Roberts post-secondary students.

Dollars for Scholars chapters like ours help hometown students achieve their educational goals by raising scholarship funds, establishing endowments, providing assistance with college readiness and the financial aid process, and distributing scholarships each year.

2020 has been an unprecedented year and the challenges have made one thing clear: giving, kindness, and support for each other are more crucial than ever.

We’re pleased to announce that the Point Roberts community donated over $9,000 to support the students of Point Roberts. In June 2020,  Dollars for Scholars increased the usual $500 scholarship to $1,200 per student, sent directly to the student’s school.

We sincerely thank our financial partners and the many donations made in memory of Sally Roberts, in our 2021 fundraising campaign and we know that the recipients thank you as well.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Point Roberts Dollars For Scholars board of directors: Brian Calder, Fern Peltier, Vicki Robertson, and Pam Sarkissian.
