Becker Dollars for Scholars® is sponsoring the 31st annual Phone-A-Thon for scholarships. The Phone-A-Thon will be held on the evenings of March 1st and March 3rd, with March 8th and dates to be determined on the week of March 15th as alternate dates.

Volunteer students will call Becker School district residents to take pledges. Larger donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations are also accepted. All money raised is awarded to Becker High School students. Scholarships of $500.00 (or more) are available to graduating high school seniors planning to attend public or private colleges or technical colleges and to those who are already attending college or technical college. The Becker community has contributed over $525,000 over the past 30 years.

Becker Dollars for Scholars has a website through Scholarship America and all student applications will need to be completed by logging on to becker.dollarsforscholars.org website and click on the “Students and Parents” tab and follow the instructions there.
