About Us
Our Goals
To create an endowment that will become large enough for the earned income to sustain substantial annual scholarships for deserving students.
To establish arrangements for estate planning and charitable trusts on a continuing basis with knowledgeable attorneys and financial people. This allows donors to make a charitable contribution and at the same time receive current income tax deductions as well as continuing annual current income from their donation.
To organize an academic support group of community volunteers who continue to provide academic support to students through mentoring and tutoring.
From the first award year in 1992 through the current awards, the number of students awarded has increased based on available funds.
The Foundation feels an award should be large enough to provide a strong incentive to capable young students who might not otherwise be able to pursue higher education. The Foundation believes that no gift serves our youth as well as that of education.
Our Mission
The Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation was born out of the strong need to provide higher education to deserving students within our community.
The mission of the organization is to help the young people of the Beaver Dam community reach their maximum potential, thereby creating a future generation of enlightened thinkers and inspired achievers to lead our community.
Who's Eligible
- Any high school graduating senior.
- Any senior whose grades merit entry into a four year college or university or a one or two year technical school.
- Students must complete the Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation application and its parts by the given deadline.
- Anyone already receiving a full scholarship will not be eligible.
Scholarships are awarded on basis of academic merit and financial need and are granted annually in the spring. The awards committee never receives any names of students to ensure impartial consideration for all applicants. Applications for scholarships are processed through the National Citizens Scholarship Foundation of America to eliminate any local bias. Decisions are based on a formula of need and merit.
