Collegiate Partners are colleges, universities, technical schools and other accredited postsecondary institutions that demonstrate their commitment to the development of private sector student aid by supporting the mission of Scholarship America® and its volunteer-operated Dollars for Scholars® foundations. All Collegiate Partner institutions have made commitments that Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used FIRST to fill any unmet need remaining after the institution’s initial financial aid package has been calculated. If no unmet need exists, Collegiate Partners have further agreed that the first $1,000 in Scholarship America-related scholarships will NOT be used to reduce institutional grant assistance.
Matching Partners are Collegiate Partners that make further commitments to students who have unmet need by agreeing to match scholarship awards coming to their campuses from Dollars for Scholars community scholarship foundations and other Scholarship America-managed corporate scholarship programs. These matching funds represent resources dedicated exclusively for this purpose and do not replace previously awarded institutional grants. A number of Matching Partners, at their option, provide matching awards even when the student’s need has been met.
Collegiate Partners Plus are schools that continue to reduce the self-help portion of the student’s financial aid package (loans and work-study) beyond the contractual limit of $1,000. Each Partner Plus school has a certain “threshold” limit for the reduction amount, which is set by the institution.

Oldham HS Graduate, 2011
"It was great being an Oldham County Dollars For Scholars recipient. It was really cool to know that people in the community really care about the future generation, and are willing to invest in it. It also helped this year just being able to have the extra monetary help, because not only is college a fun experience, it's also expensive! Through this scholarship program I am eternally linked to this community, and I look forward to paying it back in any way possible.
