McElroy gives $500 to Scholarship America

As many high school seniors make their plans to attend college in the fall, we celebrate their graduation and hard work with a $500 donation to Scholarship America. Scholarship America’s mission is to make postsecondary education possible for all students.

Scholarship America is the nation’s largest nonprofit, private sector scholarship and educational support organization. It was founded in 1958 in Fall River, Mass. by Dr. Irving Fradkin, an optometrist who challenged everyone in his community to give at least one dollar toward sending its youth to college.

Since then, Scholarship America has distributed more than $1 billion to more than one million students across the country through its Dollars for Scholars^® and Scholarship Management Services^® programs. Today Dollars for Scholars^® represents more than 1,200 chapters and 3,600 communities from southern California to the northern tip of Maine.
