The
Detroit Lakes Scholarship
Foundation’s “Dollars for Scholars”
recently presented scholarships to Detroit Lakes High School
Graduating Seniors.
Students were selected based on
academic, extra-curricular,
community involvement, work
experience, and extenuating
circumstances. Some scholarships
are specific, based on a students
intended major or interest.
Applications go out in February to
students and are due back in
mid-March. The Counseling Center
then makes copies of the
applications and removes any
identifying information: names,
addresses, etc. “This insures that
students are chosen based upon their
accomplishments and merit. It gives
everyone an equal opportunity to
compete for scholarships,” said
Doreen Richter, High School
Counselor.
Shortly afterward, the selection
committee gets to work. “We are
blessed to have so many wonderful
businesses, organizations and
individuals who give back to our
students,” said Richter. “It is
always a fun evening, and provides
students an opportunity to see just
how supportive their community is.
It is our hope that someday students
will find a way to pay it forward.”
