BY DR. IRVING FRADKIN, FOUNDER

I’d like to tell you the story of Scholarship America/Dollars for Scholars. It’s not a scholarship program as I see it, but a programto reignite the American Dream.

I was a practicing optometrist, 38 years old with a family practice, and I loved my patients. When my patients came in, I liked to know something about them; especially the young people. I would ask them, “What are your dreams?” My city, FallRiver, Mass., had a per capita income of just $3,000 a year at that time. This meant money was scarce. When these young

people would come into my office and share their dreams, almost invariably they wouldtell me that they were hoping to graduate from high school. Not many felt that a collegeeducation was within reach – they were “average” kids from families with little extramoney. Tuition at a state school at that time was just $200 a year, but that was more thanthey could afford.

I thought this was a waste of the best assets in the community: its young people. I wantedto help these young people stay in school and make a better Fall River. If you make abetter Fall River, you make a better Massachusetts, and you make a better America.

So I ran for the school board. I had a number of planks for my platform, and one of thesewas “Dollars for Scholars.” There were 30,000 homes in Fall River. I felt that if eachfamily gave $1, Fall River could send a lot of students to college and industry would lookat the city in a different way.

To make a long story short, I lost the election. Shortly thereafter, my receptionist’s sonsaid to me, “Too bad you lost the election, because people like me just lost theopportunity for an education.”

That’s when I decided to keep working on Dollars for Scholars. It doesn’t matter if youwin or lose. If you believe in something, you should follow it. I went to our schoolsuperintendent, our newspaper publisher, and my rabbi, and everyone said the samething: “How can you raise $1,000 in Fall River? It’s never been done. I don’t believe you

can do it. Only people who have money give scholarships. This would be the first time anybody went to ordinary citizens,asking for small donations from many.” “Well,” I said, “it doesn’tmake any difference what people think; let’s see what happens!”

I printed cards and asked people for $1 donations to become“members.” I organized a committee, and the local bank allowedus to set up tables in the back to solicit its members. Whenpeople came in to make a deposit, we would ask them if theywould like to donate $1. And they did.

One day, a truck driver stopped me on the side of the street togive me a couple of dollars because he wanted to help youngpeople achieve more than he had. Soon after that, a man walkedinto my office. “I work in a mill; it’s a terrible job, a tough job. Ionly have fifty cents, but when I get another fifty cents I willbring it to you. I want people to get an education and not bestuck in a job like mine.” It was a story I heard over and over.

The biggest early donation came from a patient of mine, the owner of a company. He said, “Irv, I can’t hire people from FallRiver; they don’t have the education. This would give me the opportunity to hire people right here who are qualified to workfor my organization. Here’s $300. If you want to come to our place of business, you can ask my employees to also donate.” Andyou know what? Every single person working for that company donated, and that was another $300 for Dollars for Scholars.

By the time a couple of months went by, we had raised $4,500. Our committee got together and wrote letters to people ofinfluence and in government, including President Eisenhower and Eleanor Roosevelt. Shortly after that, a letter came to usfrom Mrs. Roosevelt, with $1 and a request to become a member.

In our first year, even after everyone told us it wasimpossible, we gave out 24 scholarships, each renewablefor four years. Those 24 scholarships were the first of thewell over 1.5 million scholarships that ScholarshipAmerica has given out since 1958, nearly $2 billion inscholarships helping to reignite the American Dream.


DR. IRVING FRADKINFOUNDER, SCHOLARSHIP AMERICA

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU WIN ORLOSE. IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING,

YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IT.


Dear Friends,

A college education is one of the essential elements of life in the modern world. It is,as Scholarship America’s founder Irving Fradkin notes, a key dimension of theAmerican Dream. In today’s increasingly competitive, global economy, college is nolonger just nice, it’s necessary.

I know from personal experience why college matters. Growing up in a family oflimited financial means, and the first generation in my family to attend college, I knewthat I would need all the financial help I could get for my education. When I was readyto apply for college, I applied for every kind of financial assistance available: PellGrants, grants from the college, student loans, and scholarships from the state, mychurch, and my local community Dollars for Scholars chapter. I was fortunate toreceive assistance from each of these sources, and I am still grateful today for thebroad support I received to reach my dream of a college education. Every dollar Ireceived was important, but it was the scholarships from my community that were themost meaningful.

These private scholarships helped make up the difference between my financial aidaward (grants and loans) and what I actually needed to pay for college. And since theycame from people in my community, they had added value. There were real peoplebehind these scholarship awards, people who were investing in me, who supported mywillingness and desire to improve myself.

Because of this support from the community, I felt a tremendous sense ofresponsibility to do well in college; their investment in my scholarship was not just forme, but an investment in my family and the entire community. College has anenormous financial impact on students and their families, and thereby on us as asociety. The proportion of people with a college education who live below the povertyline is infinitesimal; the mere act of attending and completing college essentiallyeradicates poverty in most families forever.

Over time, I’ve realized just how pivotal this sense of responsibility to community hasbeen in my life. I ultimately went on to make higher education my career, focusing onaccess and success for students, and understanding how private scholarships canmake a difference. Now, as chair of the nation’s premier scholarship and educationalaccess organization, I have a responsibility to all of the communities in America.

Scholarship America has already assisted nearly two billion students in its first 50 years through its grassroots and corporate sponsored programs. In the next 50, weare dedicated to developing new programs that address specific needs in both urbanand rural areas; continuing to assist students whose families have been devastated bydisaster and catastrophe; and, above all, helping students achieve their dreams.

A COLLEGEEDUCATION IS ONEOF THE ESSENTIALELEMENTS OF LIFE

IN THE MODERNWORLD.


Dear Friends,

The first year that national tuition data was collected – 1964-65 – was the year beforeI started college. The cost of tuition, fees, room and board at public colleges averaged$1,051. Even as a first-generation college student, I never considered scholarships orsources of financial aid outside of student loans, and managed quite easily to pay offthe $28 monthly bill early.

The majority of today’s students would not be able to tell a similar story.

According to College Board, the average cost of in-state tuition, fees, room and boardat public colleges is now $12,796 – which, shockingly, has increased 35 percent in justthe past five years, after adjusting for inflation. More than two-thirds of all studentsleave college with debt from student loans. And the average accumulated student loandebt is $19,200.

Since 1958, Scholarship America® has helped students pay for their postsecondaryeducation through scholarships. In fact, in its first year, Scholarship America providedfour-year renewable scholarships to 24 deserving students in Fall River, Mass. In Fiscal Year 2007, we distributed more than $207 million to more than 114,000students across the country. To date, distributions total nearly $2 billion to more than1.5 million students.

Over the past several years, we have developed new types of scholarship funds to helpmore students, including the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund® established in2001 with support from Lumina Foundation for Education and more than 20,000other corporations and individuals in the wake of 9/11; the Disaster Relief Fund forPostsecondary Education Students established in 2005 with support from USA Fundsand Lumina Foundation for Education after Hurricane Katrina; and theDreamkeepers Emergency Financial Aid program established by Lumina Foundationfor Education in 2005 to reduce the number of community college drop outs due tofinancial emergency situations.

These programs have helped a significant number of students achieve theireducational dreams. Unfortunately, the cost of postsecondary education is rapidlyoutpacing the increase in average family income – which means that more studentsthan ever will likely choose not to attend college or trade schools. Scholarship Americais committed to developing more relevant, meaningful scholarship and educationalaccess opportunities to more communities across the country. Our mission to makepostsecondary education possible for all students is critical to the strength of ournation’s democracy and economy, and we thank you for your continued support.

Jason Schiesser is an in-house corporate attorney with SimonProperty Group, where he handles litigation, general commercial,employment and real estate matters for over 300 shopping mallsacross the country. But it wasn’t long ago that Jason was growing upin a tough neighborhood on the outskirts of Valparaiso, Indiana, withlittle money and enduring the stigma associated with the medicalproblems he suffered. In the middle of a busy day at the office, Jasonoften stops and wonders, “How did I possibly get here?” But heknows that he owes all his success to a college education.

For Jason, the dream of going to college started in elementary school,while following Indiana University basketball with his dad.

“I was curious about what Indiana University was,” Jason said. “I toldmy parents that I wanted to go to college, too.”

Though neither of Jason’s parents graduated from college, they didn’tfail to recognize the importance of a college education. Widely knownas an affluent city, Jason’s parents started their family in one of thefew neighborhoods in Valparaiso that they could afford, just so theirchildren would have access to the best possible schools andeducational opportunities available.

As a child, Jason was witness to the pitfalls of the neighborhood.Theft, violence, drugs, arson, and property damage werecommonplace. At school, Jason often felt embarrassed for living onwhat some considered “the wrong side of the tracks.” When he wasnine years old, he was hospitalized for a massive kidney infection.Miraculously, after two and a half weeks his condition improved.Then, at age fifteen, Jason suffered from a grand mal seizure and wasput on medicine that totally impeded his ability to play sports at acompetitive level, forcing him to forgo his position on the varsityteam. State law did not allow Jason to get his drivers license, makinghim feel even more like an outsider.

Jason knew his only chance of a fresh start was through a collegeeducation. But even after saving for years and working several after-school jobs, Jason did not know if he would be able to afford to go.Earning a scholarship turned out to be critical.

Due to a combination of persistence and academic success, Jasonwon the Valparaiso Dollars for Scholars renewable $500 scholarship,which was matched by Indiana University, the college that Jasonalways hoped to attend. Every year, he was able to reapply for theDollars for Scholars scholarship, and every year he earned it. The netimpact of a $500 scholarship resulted in $4,000 towards his collegeeducation.

“Not only was I able to achieve my goal of attending IU, but going tocollege gave me the opportunity to have a clean slate because peopledidn’t know the neighborhood I was from or what kind of medicalproblems I had,” Jason said. “It was accomplishing not only the dreamof getting a college degree but a dream of a new beginning. I wasgiven the opportunity to shape my future instead of allowing mycircumstances to shape me.”

Jason believes that had he not attended college, he would likely beliving in the same neighborhood and would not have been able toachieve financial or career success.

His success is owed partly to his parents, partly to Indiana Universitybasketball, and partly to Dollars for Scholars. But mostly, Jason iswhere he is today because he had a dream and refused to let go of it.

Most junior high kids spend their days worrying about clothes,music, and homework; few think about the next school year, letalone what will happen when they graduate from high school.Lori Johner was just like the rest of her fellow junior highfriends until a school guidance counselor approached her abouta program called ScholarShop®, telling Lori that it was alwaysgood to start thinking about college early. She encouraged Lorito fill out an application for a ScholarShop scholarship. A fewweeks later, Lori was given the news that she was the winner of$500, which was to be applied towards any college of herchoice as soon as she graduated from high school.

Now, almost five years later, Lori is happy she listened to theadvice of her guidance counselor, and happy that she gotinvolved in ScholarShop.

“I would definitely recommend participating in ScholarShop,”said Lori.

Realizing the importance of scholarships, Lori began applyingfor as many as she could as early as possible. This fall, she’ll beentering her first year at the University of North Dakota,where she won’t have to struggle as much with paying tuition.Lori was awarded two scholarships from the University ofNorth Dakota and a scholarship from Lakota Dollars forScholars, in addition to her $500 scholarship fromScholarShop.

“ScholarShop inspired me to become more involved inacademics and extra-curricular activities in order to achievethe financial assistance that I would need to further myeducation,” she said.

Everything starts with a dream. For Lynn Grochowski, it wasthe dream of attending college. From a young age, Lynn’sparents encouraged her to study hard and earn good grades inorder to be accepted into a university. But for Lynn, getting tocollege wasn’t the problem – it was finding a way to pay for itthat was difficult; the best way Lynn could think of was byearning scholarships. Ultimately Lynn knew that she must setherself apart from her classmates – not only with good grades,but also by participating in unique activities; so when Lynn gotthe opportunity to audition for Strive Media Institute’sGUMBO TV, the only news show made by teens for teens, shejumped on it.

Like most kids from Franklin, Wis., Lynn had no televisionexperience going into the audition, but the judges recognizedher ability to handle herself on camera, and a few weeks latershe found herself one of only six kids participating in the firstseason of GUMBO TV.

A program created by Strive Media Institute, GUMBO TV givesteens of all cultures and backgrounds media skills and tools forfuture careers in television, radio and production. GUMBO TVallows teens to write, shoot and edit stories that matter to today’steens – everything from break-dancing to teen pregnancy tohomelessness. For three years, Lynn enjoyed making newfriends, traveling as far as Italy, meeting celebrities, andappearing both in front of and behind the camera. Byparticipating in GUMBO TV, Lynn gained independence andexperience in an area she hadn’t thought of pursuing.

Along with top-notch academic credentials, GUMBO TVhelped Lynn stand out from other kids when applying forcollege scholarships. Not only did Lynn receive a full four-yearscholarship to Drake University, but she also received arenewable $3,000 scholarship from Northwestern Mutual, ascholarship program run by Scholarship America’s ScholarshipManagement Services (SMS). The Northwestern Mutualscholarship, given to two students annually in the Franklin,Wis. area, helped Lynn cover the cost of books, a computer,and any extra expenses that her scholarship from Drake didnot cover. Now in her senior year, the Northwestern Mutualscholarship has made it possible for Lynn to focus strictly onher studies since she wasn’t forced to work while going toschool; having summers free of work responsibilities hasallowed her to participate in internships; and perhaps mostimportantly, the scholarship helped fund the semester Lynnspent studying abroad in Australia.

This past summer, Lynn enjoyed interning at a radio station inMilwaukee, where she helped out with public affairs and themorning show. Just like her experience with GUMBO TV,interning at the radio station opened new doors for Lynn,giving her a glimpse into something she hadn’t thought offollowing until now. The experiences that her scholarshipshave allowed her to pursue have exposed her to careers shenever knew existed and have pushed her one step closer to hernew dream – a career in media.

The events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001forever changed the lives of millions across theglobe, but none so much as the dependents –children, spouses and domestic partners – ofthose who were killed or permanently disabledas a result of the terrorist attacks in New York,Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania.

Lumina Foundation for Education andScholarship America joined efforts within aweek of the tragedy to establish the Families ofFreedom Scholarship Fund®, a need-basedscholarship fund, to ensure that a collegeeducation remains within reach for thoseindividuals. The first of these scholarships wereawarded in January, 2002, just four monthsafter 9/11.

Donor response to the Fund was overwhelming.Within a year, the fundraising efforts reachedthe $100 million goal, intended to cover about65% of the financial need for all eligiblestudents – thanks to contributions from more than 20,000 corporations, foundations,educational institutions, grassroots organizationsand individuals, including the DaimlerChryslerCorporation Fund, which made its largestphilanthropic gift in its history.

“In the aftermath of 9/11, the formation of The Families of Freedom Fund by ScholarshipAmerica was a decisive response to showAmerica’s deep appreciation for those who paidthe ultimate price for freedom. Access to highereducation will be an essential part of therebuilding process for families affected by thistragedy,” said Brian Glowiak, Vice President ofThe Chrysler Foundation. “Through our

$10.4 million contribution, we proudlyestablished the Chrysler Help the Children Fundto help students realize their full potential and bydoing so improve their lives and the quality of lifefor others in the community.”

Another one of the largest donors to the fundwas Major League Baseball and the MajorLeague Baseball Players Association.

“Major League Baseball and the Major LeagueBaseball Players Association were honored tocontribute in our small way to the healingprocess after such an unimaginable disaster,”said Cathy Bradley, Executive Director, BaseballTomorrow Fund, on behalf of the MLB-MLBPADisaster Relief Fund. “The game is a socialinstitution with social responsibilities, andthrough the Families of Freedom ScholarshipFund we were able to help respond to peopleduring a time of great need and assure securityfor their future.”

Generous contributions continued even afterthe initial goal was reached. More than $108million has been donated to the fund to date,with an additional approximately $20 millioncommitted to the fund through corporatepledges. This assures that Scholarship Americawill be able to administer the Fund to eligiblefamilies through the year 2030, the year inwhich the youngest of the infants born in themonths following 9/11 will turn 24.

Scholarship America reviews the amount in theFund annually and adjusts accordingly to ensurethat the entire amount will be awarded tovictims’ families by December 31, 2030.Currently, 95% of financial need is now beingfunded to eligible students through the Fund.

To date, Scholarship America has awarded morethan $22 million to 872 students through theFamilies of Freedom Scholarship Fund, with anaverage award of more than $17,000.

The night before Hurricane Katrina surged through the GulfCoast, Marie Scantlebury found herself holed up in a hotelroom in Jackson, Miss., 200 miles away from New Orleans,La., where she was in the process of completing a Masters ofBusiness Administration at Tulane University. She had left hersmall apartment in a frenzy, annoyed at the inconvenience,waiting until the last minute to escape the storm that wascoming. Marie had taken with her hardly any possessions – alaptop computer, homework, and some dirty laundry –expecting to return to campus the next day. She neverimagined the devastation that the hurricane would cause.

Like the rest of the city, Tulane was completely shut downafter the hurricane. Flooding, fallen trees, and wind damagedeighty-seven university buildings, causing the displacement ofnearly 100,000 students. There was no way Marie could goback to Tulane to collect her possessions. Instead, she headedto her mother’s in Champaign, Ill., forced to leave everythingbehind.

Students at Tulane were encouraged to continue their fallsemester, so as not to delay their expected graduation date,either by taking online classes through Tulane, or by enrollingin another university.

Thanks to Scholarship America’s Disaster Relief Fund forPostsecondary Education Students and other scholarships shereceived, Marie was able to continue classes and finish herMBA on time without extra debt. She applied to theUniversity of Chicago, which had negotiated with Tulane tobridge moneys over until Tulane was up and running again.The University helped Marie find free housing, whileprofessors donated flash drives, money for books, andtransportation passes. The Disaster Relief scholarship Mariereceived allowed her to purchase clothing, food, and supplies,making life easier as she continued classes in Chicago. Shereturned to Tulane in Spring 2006, finishing her MBA withoutaccruing extra debt.

Today, Marie is the director of Community Impact with theUnited Way of St. Charles in Luling, La. Located only twentymiles outside of New Orleans, Marie is witnessing first-handthe extremely slow and painful recovery of the city. Althoughthe people are slowly returning, Marie vows never to risk livingin New Orleans again.S

DREAMKEEPERS EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID

NONTRADITIONAL FUNDING HELPS STUDENTS STAY IN SCHOOLWhether it’s tending to a health care bill or asudden reduction in work hours, unexpectedcrises contribute to high rates of attrition amongcommunity college students. Thanks to theDreamkeepers Emergency Scholarship Fund,developed and supported by Lumina Foundationfor Education in collaboration with ScholarshipAmerica, these financial difficulties are nolonger getting in the way of a student’s dream ofcompleting a college education.

By helping out with emergency funding, theDreamkeepers Fund allows those students toovercome that challenge and keep lookingahead. In its first two years, Dreamkeepers hasprovided $595,393 in total assistance to 1,566students. It has helped ease student worriesabout housing, food and utilities; tuition andbooks; transportation; and child care andmedical needs, allowing students a chance tofocus their energy on their education instead ofa financial crises.

And it has already had a tremendous effect interms of preventing students from having toleave school. In the program’s first year, 2005,64% of students re-enrolled or graduated in theterm immediately after receiving assistance. In2006, the retention rate had gone up to anaverage of 85%, with three colleges reportingretention of 90% or more of students receivingassistance. This program is an important step inScholarship America’s efforts to focus onstudents often ignored by the world of private-sector financial aid.

It’s not often that an entire community unites in a giant effortto improve the site of their local schools, but that’s exactlywhat happened at Sunnyside Unified School District inTucson, Ariz. in October 2006 when over two thousandvolunteers came together in honor of Make a Difference Day,a nation wide effort sponsored by USA WEEKEND. Kids andtheir parents, teachers, administrators, business leaders andconcerned citizens teamed up to paint hallways, trim weeds,and help perk up the overall appearance of the schools.

Sunnyside’s decision to partake in Make a Difference Daycame about due to its participation in the LearningCommunities Coalition, an initiative between USA Funds,Scholarship America, and eight other nationally recognizedorganizations, which aims to encourage not just students, butentire communities, to value and actively support education.

By bringing together local community leaders, citizens andvolunteers through events like Make a Difference Day, theLearning Communities Coalition is hoping to significantlyincrease the number of youth who complete high school andsuccessfully pursue postsecondary education. In addition toSunnyside, communities in Orlando, Fla.; Washington, D.C.;Okolona, Miss.; Indianapolis, and the Wind River IndianReservation in Wyoming, have been awarded a total of $900,000in grants to support early awareness, preparation andparticipation in motivational programs such as ScholarshipAmerica’s ScholarShop, in order to create a community cultureof lifelong learning.

Other Learning Communities have also been busy preparingtheir students for high school graduation and college. The Orlando Learning Community publicly recognized 200 ofOrange County Public Schools’ brightest stars at the InauguralStudent of Promise Celebration. The students were identifiedas potential future scholars and their progress will be trackedfrom elementary school through high school. The Wind RiverIndian Reservation also celebrated special members of theircommunity; four awards were presented to an educator,caregiver, student, and business respectively. And inIndianapolis, George Washington Community Schoolimplemented ScholarShop programs targeting over 1,250students in grades 4-12. Local high school seniors and collegestudents provide tutoring and also help implementprogramming within the Learning Communities initiative.

CALIFORNIA: FOSTERING OPPORTUNITIESLess than five percent of former foster children earn collegedegrees. At age 18, these now “adults” are sent out into the worldto make it on their own. For most, going to college isn’tconceivable. This is something that the Dollars for Scholars SanDiego Chapter is trying to change. The program, FosteringOpportunities, helps former foster youth with all the necessaryplans for entering college and moving out on their own; things likesetting up a dorm room, shopping for college supplies, getting thefunds they need to attend college, and every day skills like how tobalance a check book. Thanks to this Californian chapter, thesekids can turn a college education from a dream into a reality.
