How are funds for local awards provided?
Each year our community is invited to demonstrate support for local students through a variety of fundraising activities. Funds also come from the generous support of local businesses, service organizations, and individuals who desire to sponsor scholarships in their name.
Donors may wish to establish a named scholarship through an endowment gift. In which case, a gift may be made to start and endowment fund. Or Bismarck Dollars for Scholars may be named as a beneficiary in a will or insurance policy.
