Fairport-Perinton Dollars for Scholars Awards 87 Scholarships to Local Seniors
June 1, 2021
Fairport-Perinton Dollars for Scholars presented 87 scholarships to 72 local seniors at an outdoor ceremony at Fairport High School on June 1, 2021. The students received awards totaling $74,930 towards their post-secondary education.
"We are proud to honor our graduates for all of their hard work and share in their excitement for the future," said Angie Kettell, Chapter president, "And we especially want to thank our generous donors, sponsors, and the community for supporting our scholarship program."
The scholarships were made possible by funds raised through the annual phon-a-thon, local sponsorships, and direct donations.
Fairport-Perinton Dollars for Scholars, established in 1989, is a local chapter of Scholarship America. DFS administers scholarship funds for local groups and organizations as well as its own scholarships. This year 13 students received Chapter scholarships in recognition of their excellent efforts and outstanding character.
A new scholarship was also added this year, Raiders for Social Justice, to recognize students who represent the underserved and underrepresented in our community. Two students received this scholarship for demonstrating why social just issues are important to them, how these issues have impacted their lives, and how they have or would like to affect positive social change.
