about Oldham county dollars for scholars (ocdfs)

• The Oldham County Dollars for Scholars chapter is organized to provide local students with financial aid and with personal encouragement and support to actively pursue higher levels of academic achievement. The Oldham County community rallies around those seeking higher education to give them a boost and ensure they reach their highest potential.
   

  Within our first two years, 20 sponsors joined the chapter and this number continues to grow every year. Each sponsor is asked to sign a long-term agreement that they will sponsor a scholarship every year and that they will notify OCDFS if they must terminate the agreement.
