The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Scholarship Foundation will be holding its annual fundraiser, Dollars for Students, on Saturday and Sunday, April 6-7. The fundraiser supports local scholarships for graduating seniors. In the past 46 years, the Foundation has given a total of $2,369,542 to 2,436 students. The money for the scholarships is collected from Scotch Plains-Fanwood residents only.
The fundraiser is seeking participants for its 2013 collection. Seniors will receive letters about the fundraiser later in the month and sophomores and juniors will receive letters shortly thereafter. Dollars for Students gives students the opportunity to both collect money for district scholarships and log hours for community service.
