This Weekend: Bedford Dollars for Scholars Phone-A-Thon

February 22, 2020

The Bedford Dollars for Scholars Phone-A-Thon will solicit pledges from Bedford residents on Saturday, February 29th & March 1st.  High School Students will seek donations to this annual college scholarship fund drive.  This year, Bedford Dollars for Scholars is celebrating its 55th year of scholarship support to Bedford High School graduates, including the Hanscom AFB community, and Shawsheen Tech graduates.

The MITRE Corp, 202 Burlington Rd., the host for this year’s telephone drive, has donated the use of their facilities for Dollars for Scholars student volunteers recruited by the BHS Social Studies Department.

Alma Pomponi and Scott Dyer are Phone-A-Thon chairpersons for this annual community event, the main source of funds for Dollars for Scholars scholarships awarded at graduation.  Recipients will be recognized at a reception on May 27, 2020.

Any senior graduating from BHS, or any Bedford or Hanscom AFB resident graduating from another secondary school, completing home-schooling, or completing GED requirements may apply for a Dollars for Scholars Scholarship.  Applications will be available online by 1 March, with a deadline of 20 March.  For more information, please visit the website www.bedfordma.dollarsforscholars.org.
