Seniors go Door-to-Door in Dighton and Rehoboth
Historically, during the third week in March, Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Seniors go door-to-door to raise funds for their college scholarships. The participating students all receive an equal share of the funds collected during this campaign.

Any Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School senior who is a member in good standing in the current graduating class, and actively participates in the Door-to-Door Campaign, may apply for a CSF of Dighton-Rehoboth scholarship. All of the funds collected -- 100% -- go directly to students deserving scholarship assistance. These scholarships are available for any accredited form of higher education, provided it is for a standard degree or certificate of study. Specific safeguards are built in to see that all scholarships awarded are used for their intended educational purpose.

There were a total of 78 members of the Class of 2016 who received scholarships.
