Citizens Warmly Welcome Chilled Students

During the very cold third weekend of March, Seniors from Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School went door-to-door to raise funds toward their scholarships. The Team members visited their neighbors along the 14 Dighton routes and the 27 routes in Rehoboth to explain the Citizens Scholarship Foundation, now in its 58th year of assisting D-R Seniors toward their higher education.

The DIghton and Rehoboth residents who were at home gave kind words of encouragement to the Falcon Class of 2018, donating generously toward their future enterprises. These students receive an equal share of the funds collected during this campaign. Also, additional CSF scholarships are available for any accredited form of higher education for a standard degree or certificate of study.

Being a participant of the Door-to-Door Campaign--without exception--is required for eligibility of any funds from the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of Dighton-Rehoboth. The participants must complete their on-line applications by the April deadline.

How are scholarships awarded? Applications are scored by trained volunteers serving on an Awards Committee. Areas that are taken into consideration, in addition to financial need, include work experience, school and community service activities, and academic record. The selection process is objective and nondiscriminatory, making scholarships available to a wide range of deserving students planning to attend an accredited post-secondary institution.

Since 1961, CSF Dighton-Rehoboth has been providing opportunities for students. Together with the community we are investing in our greatest resource, our youth. Anyone can help in two ways:

Share your time, your skills, and your ideas. Parents of D-R High School students in any grade, and all others interested, are welcome at all the Foundation's monthly meetings, 7:00 P.M. in the High School Administrative Conference Room. Phone (508) 222-5872 with inquiries.

Make a contribution. Can you assist these young people to attain the level of education toward professions they love? Please use the donation form showed to support our them.

Thank you so very much from the Class of 2018.
