Established in 1989, CSF of B-G-M Dollars for Scholars is a community-based foundation working to provide supplemental funds for B-G-M high school graduates who wish to further their education and preschool students just starting their education experience. The organization is a local chapter of the national non-profit organization Scholarship America. Volunteer, non-salaried school district citizens operate our tax-exempted 501(c)(3) organization. 

The purpose of the local chapter is to expand the educational opportunities for B-G-M students. C-S-F of B-G-M functions are to: develop an operational structure to promote the Dollars for Scholars program, raise funds for scholarship distribution, and award our scholarships in a fair, non-discriminatory basis.

The organization believes that all students who are sincerely determined, whether average or above average, have a right to continue their education after graduation. Any graduating senior of B-G-M Schools may apply and all those applying in a timely manner will be awarded a scholarship.
