The goal of Windsor Locks Dollars for Scholars is to support local students’ post high school educational opportunities through scholarship awards, financial assistance and by promoting activities within the WL community that further these purposes.
Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations can help Windsor Locks Dollars for Scholars by setting up scholarships, donating funds, or donating goods and services for our annual fundraising auction.
Windsor Locks Dollars for Scholars is not responsible for raising all of the funds given out to local students at awards night. Most scholarships and awards administered by Dollars for Scholars are simply that – administered by us in order for those scholarship funds to be entitled to the benefits of affiliation. The credit for the existence of these scholarships goes to the generous community of Windsor Locks.
Windsor Locks Dollars for Scholars does makes the decisions about individual scholarships. Control of scholarships stays with the donor. The donor sets the criteria, selects the recipient (if they wish), names the scholarship, presents the scholarships (if they wish), and continues to control the scholarship as they have always done.
We are proud that our community has been very generous to our students. This sends a strong message that the citizens of Windsor Locks value their town’s graduates and are invested in their continuing education. We are honored to work along with those citizens, clubs and organizations to further the mission of helping our students.
