The Becker chapter of Dollars for Scholars is sponsoring the 24rd annual Becker Phone-A-Thon for scholarships. The Phone-A-Thon will be held the evenings of March 17 and March 30, with alternate dates as needed.
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 students. Scholarships of $500 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. The Becker community has contributed over $350,000 over the past 23 years.
Becker Dollars for Scholars now 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 following the instructions there.
If you would like to make a donation online by credit card you may log on to Becker.dollarsforscholars.org website and click on the “donate now” tab and follow the instructions listed there.
