Dollars for Scholars in Pella is holding a pair of student-parent help nights this month to assist with the application process.

President of Dollars for Scholars Fred Koogler says they started the sessions last year to help families in a more hands-on way.

The first event is scheduled at Pella Christian High School on Monday, and the second will be held on Tuesday, February 16 at Pella High School. Families from both schools can attend either event, which both begin at 7 p.m.

The 2016 Pella Dollars for Scholars application deadline is February 29th.
