Community Commitment to Our Students
 

Founded in 1994, Peotone Community Scholarship Association Dollars for Scholars is a nonprofit foundation that supports academic success in our community. As part of Scholarship America's national network of locally based, volunteer-driven Dollars for Scholars chapters, our mission is to mobilize our community on behalf of postsecondary education success for our students.

Beginning with one $500 award that first year, Peotone Community Scholarship Association Dollars for Scholars has grown each year through the efforts of its volunteers and the generosity of its donors.  We currently award an average of 25 scholarships each year. All graduating seniors of Peotone High School are eligible to apply for the one-time $500 awards. Award recipients are announced at the May Commencement Ceremonies. 

As the word "Community" in our name implies, the success of the Association rests entirely on the broad shoulders of the wonderful communities that comprise the Peotone CUSD 207u. Businesses, organizations and individuals have all shown their support of bettering our students through their continued generosity. Without them, we would not exist. 

We invite you to be a part of the future by supporting these students today through your contribution of time, talent or resources. We would love to hear from you.
