Dighton-Rehoboth High School Class of 2020 Scholarships
Residents of our two towns are invited to demonstrate support for our youth, the greatest resource in our communities. In March, Dighton and Rehoboth Seniors from D-R Regional High School will go door-to-door to raise funds toward their scholarships, which are available for any accredited form of higher education for a standard degree or certificate of study. March 20 through March 22, the Team members will visit their neighbors and describe the Citizen’s Scholarship Foundation, now in its 60th year of benefiting the High School Seniors going on to higher education. These students receive an equal share of the funds collected in this campaign. Eligibility Requirement: Being a participant of the Door-toDoor Campaign—without exception—is required for eligibility of any funds from the Citizen’s Scholarship Foundation of DightonRehoboth. Other Funds: These participants—and ONLY these students— are also eligible for additional CSF scholarships. The deadline is
April 8 to complete their on-line applications for these scholarships. Scholarship Notification Letters are awarded during the Celebration of Excellence in May. Applications: At Senior Assembly, this year’s Class of 2020 learned the benefits of participating, how to join their town’s Team, how to earn their share of the funds collected during the Campaign, how to apply for additional scholarships, and some opportunities to increase community participation. The 14 routes in Dighton and the 27 routes in Rehoboth are allocated as first-come, first assigned to each student signing up for a Team. Seniors can apply at the High School’s Guidance Office.
