Perseverance Scholarship
Since 1988, the Perseverance Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships to deserving high school students throughout Douglas County. Last school year, thirteen $2,000 scholarships were awarded to graduating DCSD seniors who were chosen by the scholarship committee. Recipients of these scholarships have overcome great obstacles during their school years and are determined to further their education after high school. Financial need and academic merit are key criteria used in selecting scholarship recipients.
Eligibility
Scholarships are awarded to a student from each neighborhood and alternative high school in DCSD. Recipients are chosen by an administrator at their school.
Donations Fund The Perseverance Scholarship
100% of donations go straight to student scholarships! All committee members volunteer their time so that donations can be passed directly to students.
