Dollars for Scholars

It’s never too early to start a Dollars for Scholars online application! Schuylerville’s local chapter gives out thousands of dollars in scholarships at the district’s graduation ceremony for eligible students. The Schuylerville online application can be found here.

• Once you are on the home page, click on the ‘Students and Parents’ tab at the top of the page.
• On this next page, under Student and Parent Login, click on the red Login. This will open the Scholarship America Dollars for Scholars Student Center. You should see ‘Don’t have an account yet? Create one here’.
• After clicking on that link in Schuylerville Junior-Senior High School, under ‘High School Name’ and click on the blue link that reads ‘Choose this school’.
• You will then be directed to several pages of info that students need to fill in…only those with asterisks are required.

For questions about the Dollars for Scholars Program, please contact your school counselor.
