Dear Editor:

The 51st annual “Dollars for Students Drive” was conducted, on Saturday, April 22nd and Sunday, April 23rd by the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Scholarship Foundation. We would like to express our appreciation to the local students who participated in our drive and to the generous citizens of Fanwood and Scotch Plains who made their efforts a successful venture.

We are pleased to continue to report that 100% of the money that we raise is utilized to fund post high school education scholarships for qualified students residing in Scotch Plains and Fanwood. Last year, our broad-based screening committee reviewed 147 applications and we were able to assist 95 deserving students with a total of $142,860. During our fifty one years of service to our communities, we have aided 2,844 students with $$2,925,477 in scholarship awards.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation go out to all of our neighbors who so willingly continue to show the young people of Scotch Plains and Fanwood that they value them and their effort to continue their education. If you were not at home or if you did not receive a request through the mail but would like to support our efforts, please send your contribution in care of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Scholarship Foundation, PO Box 123, Fanwood, New Jersey 07023 or navigate to www.spfscholarshipfoundation.o... and click the “Donate” button.
