About Our Chapter...

    Thanks to the Maquoketa Valley community and alumni in 36 states, the MV Dollars for Scholars has met its goal of giving a scholarship to every graduate who applies and to increase the amount given each ear.  scholarships are paid from the earnings on the Endowed funds and from Direct Scholarships.

    Direct scholarships are pass through gifts of $250 or more, to be given at the next graduation.  the donor may name someone to be honored or remembered.

     380 MV graduates have been awarded a total of $175,370.   Because the awards are from a Dollars for Scholars Chapter, their colleges or universities did not reduce the student aid dollars they had promised, a practice in most colleges.  in some cases students received additional matching funds from these schools.
