The Indiana office of Citizens Scholarship Foundation of America, Inc., (CSFA) will assist a community with organizing and developing its foundation. The purpose of the Dollars for Scholars program is for local communities to form a permanent scholarship foundation and to raise funds for scholarships. The local group invests its funds and gives annual awards in the form of scholarships or honor grants to local students seeking post-secondary educations. CSFA is a national, non-profit, private sector student aid service organization founded in 1958. CSFA plays a leadership role in providing high quality, innovative, and efficient services to communities, companies, foundations, associations, and individuals. There are 353 Dollars for Scholars chapters in 28 states and the District of Columbia. CSFA’s national headquarters is in St. Peter, Minnesota. The Indiana development project is possible because of a three year $300,000 grant to CSFA from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. In Miami County, all four high schools are served by a Dollars for Scholars program. Established in 1974, the Citizen’s Scholarship Foundation of Miami County has awarded scholarships to over 225 students from Peru, Converse, Mexico, Sweetser, Swayzee, Denver, and Bunker Hill. The group was originally organized by a group of Miami County citizens. Over SBO,OOO has been raised for scholarships by the Miami County group. George W. Astrike was the Charter President. (Astrike, now president of the GermanAmerican Bank in Jasper, is talking with Jasper residents about starting a Dollars for Scholars program.) Current Miami County president is Pat Fincher and John Ridenour is treasurer. No Kosciusko County students are served by a Dollars for Scholars program yet, Manchester College has enrolled with CSFA as a Collegiate partner. Manchester is one of 175 colleges and universities that have become CSFA Collegiate Partners to demonstrate the college’s commitment to encouraging communities to develop private sector student aid. Manchester College also has made a commitment to a Matching Grant Program for Dollars for Scholars students. Since January 1, 1988, the number of Indiana Dollars for Scholars programs has grown from 11 to 22. Thirteen Indiana colleges and universities have enrolled with CSFA as collegiate partners. Eight collegiate partners will award matching grant programs to Dollars for Scholars recipients who attend their institutions.
