We Help Nashoba Regional High School Students Succeed Through Scholarships

We are a group of volunteers responsible for raising and giving out many thousands of dollars each year in scholarships to college-bound, graduating seniors of Nashoba Regional High School.  Nashoba Regional High School serves resident of the towns of Lancaster, Bolton, & Stow, Massachusetts.

Our Dollars for Scholars chapter is a nonprofit foundation that supports academic achievement in our community. As part of Scholarship America's® national network of locally based, volunteer-driven Dollars for Scholars chapters, our mission is to mobilize our community on behalf of post-secondary education success for our students. This year's anticipated scholarships available to NRHS seniors via this website application are listed below.

This website provides resources from our chapter to our volunteers, community and students. You can learn more about our history, goals and volunteers through the "About Us" link, and find out what's new by clicking on "News and Events." Volunteers -- and those who are interested in becoming volunteers -- can click on "Volunteer Login" to get connected. 

STUDENTS: To apply for any of the scholarships below as well as regional and national scholarships, just click "Student and Parent Login" to begin filling out your student profile -- not only will you find and apply for our scholarships that way, you'll also discover scholarships from across the Scholarship America network that you may be eligible for. You'll also find valuable financial aid, college success, internship and career resources, so get started today!

Community Members Wanted to Continue Nashoba Scholarships

Nashoba Regional Dollars for Scholars needs volunteers to help us build for future generations of Nashoba scholars. For over three decades, Nashoba Regional Dollars for Scholars has been providing scholarships to Nashoba Regional High School seniors. Last Spring, the committee awarded nearly $40,000 to deserving students who began post-secondary education at a college/university, trade school, or other accredited institution of higher learning. Are you interested in helping to continue this important tradition?

We need you! Our organization must engage the next generation of parents and community members so that it's equipped to award scholarships to future graduates. We are always looking for new volunteers to help:

  • Determine worthy recipients of our scholarships
  • Raise money to give to current and future graduates
  • Build our brand in the community and raise awareness of our activities
  • Find even more volunteers to help current and future scholars

Qualifications and time commitments are flexible, and we are happy to offer any and all support to assist you! Nashoba Dollars for Scholars meets once a month. For the remainder of 2023 through June 2024 we are meeting on the first Wednesday of the month at the Nashoba Regional High School library at 7:30 PM.  You can also reach out to us on Facebook or through our website,   http://www.nashobaregional.dollarsforscholars.org/.
