For over 30 years, Jefferson Dollars for Scholars has paved the way for educational advancement for Jefferson Parish Schools students. We support Jefferson Parish Schools students by providing college scholarships, laptops for scholarship recipients, summer enrichment opportunities for Kindergarten through 8th grade students, and National Merit test preparation courses.
We advocate that nurturing early educational curiosity lays the groundwork for continued education through post-secondary completion.
With a K-16 approach, we actively involve, invest in, engage, and unite families, the school system, the business community, and the wider community to collectively provide opportunities that benefit Jefferson Parish Schools students.
Supporting the dream of higher education means changing lives, building stronger communities and uplifting society through education.
