Seniors go Door-to-Door in Dighton and Rehoboth

Posted

Each year our community is invited to demonstrate support for local students. In the third week of March, Seniors from Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School go door-to-door to raise funds toward scholarships, which are available for any accredited form of higher education for a standard degree or certificate of study. A total of $39,475 was dispersed to the 63 Team members of the Class of 2017.

Eligibility Requirement: 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.

March 16 through March 18, the Team members will visit all their neighbors and describe the Citizens Scholarship Foundation, now in its 58th year of benefiting the High School Seniors going on to higher education. These students receive an equal share of the funds collected in this campaign.

Other funds: The participants are also eligible for additional CSF scholarships. The deadline is April 6 to complete their on-line applications for these scholarships. Scholarship Notification Letters are awarded during the Celebration of Excellence, May 30.

Applications: At Senior Assembly this year’s Class of 2018 learned the benefits of participating, how to join their town’s Team, how to earn their share of the funds collected during the Campaign, how to apply for additional scholarships, and some opportunities to increase community participation. The 14 routes in Dighton and the 27 routes in Rehoboth are allocated as first-come, first assigned to each student signing up for a Team. Seniors can apply at the High School's Guidance Office.

Team Captains: Through the Guidance Office, Seniors applied to become the Captain of the Door-to-Door Campaign Team of their home town. The chosen Dighton and Rehoboth Captains met with the Foundation to receive Scholarship information as well as their Captain’s instructions. At the March 7 meeting, Team Captains, their parents, and others interested will receive information on the Campaign as they assist in preparing the route packets with supplies and forms.
