Give the Gift of Education

Every Scarsdale household recently received an appeal to support the Scarsdale High School PTA Scholarship Fund for College. This fund provides grants to graduating SHS seniors who need financial aid to attend college.

There are many families in the community who must make college decisions based on finances. Job loss, corporate downsizing, divorce, illness, and death can have additional, devastating effects on a family's ability to pay for a college education. The fund is administered under strict rules of confidence, and all funds raised benefit qualified students. Scholarship funding comes solely from donations by Scarsdale residents, businesses and organizations.

"Gift of Education" cards can be purchased for $15 each to honor teachers or someone celebrating a special event. These cards also make wonderful holiday gifts, and through their purchase or by giving a donation, you will make a difference in the lives of deserving students in our community.

Donations of all denominations or requests for "Gift of Education" cards may be sent at any time to: SHS PTA Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 147H, Scarsdale, NY 10583. Contributions can also be made via PayPal on the SHS PTA Scholarship Fund's secure online donation link. Donations are fully tax deductible.
