Applications will open soon for high school seniors at Pella and Pella Christian schools to receive funding for their post-secondary education.

President of Pella Dollars for Scholars Mary Mansfield tells KRLS News they will provide a scholarship to every student that completes the application successfully, which opens January 1st and is open through the end of February. Mansfield says numerous local businesses, organizations, and individuals fund their own grants and scholarships, while the rest are covered by donations to the Dollars for Scholars organization.

A fundraising dinner for the Dollars for Scholars organization will be held before the next Pella/Pella Christian basketball game on January 18th at Pella High School.
