OXFORD – Oxford Academy Scholarship Program has announced its annual Phone-A-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 2, 2014. Chairperson Kate Constantine announced the students of the National Honor Society will be manning the telephones from 1-5 p.m. and is asking for tax-deductible contributions for the cause.
In the past, the generosity of the local communities has provided thousands of scholarship dollars for the seniors at Oxford Academy.
With the ever-growing cost of college tuition coupled with the continuation of a lagging economy and long-time employers and industries leaving upstate New York, today's high school seniors are seeking out as many opportunities as possible to help supplement or defray some of the cost of higher education.
While in the past, pre-college academia consisted merely of studying and preparing for the departure to a new educational experience that would propel students into the future, the present reality often includes the added burden and stresses attributed to finding a way to pay for college.
The Oxford Academy Scholarship Program is a local, nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that is staffed entirely by non-paid volunteers.
Students at Oxford Academy High have relied on community involvement to achieve their college goals over the years. The Oxford chapter of the Honor Society works in partnership with Scholarship America Dollars for Scholars.
Dollars for Scholars chapters such as Oxford's assists hometown students achieve their educational goals by raising scholarship funds, establishing endowments, providing assistance with college readiness and the financial aid process, and distributing scholarships each year.
The nationwide network of local, volunteer-driven affiliates provide scholarships and support in thousands of cities, towns and school districts across the nation.
Funding raised through the initiative is used to assist Oxford Academy graduates to further their education. All donations made to the Oxford Academy Scholarship Program through the Phone-A-Thon are tax deductible.
The Mission of the national Dollars for Scholars program is to help students get into – and through – education beyond high school.
Students looking for Dollars for Scholars scholarships can create a student profile at dollarsforscholars.org and apply online for scholarships. Registering with the national website enables parents and students to discover other potential scholarship opportunities from across the Scholarship America network for which prospective college students may be eligible. The dollarsforscholars.org website is also a valuable financial aid, college success, internship and career resources.
Those wishing to donate prior to or after the Phone-A-Thon campaign by mail can make checks payable to Oxford Dollars for Scholars. Mail-ins should be sent to Oxford Academy High School, P.O. Box 192 Oxford, New York 13830.
