UPPER KITTITAS COUNTY DOLLARS FOR SCHOLARS®
(located in Cle Elum, WA)
Our Dollars for Scholars Chapter was formed in 2003 by members and friends of the Cle Elum Kiwanis Club. In light of the need to better serve our community and local students' needs, our chapter reorganized as a separate entity in 2012: Upper Kittitas County Dollars for Scholars® (UKC Dollars for Scholars). We are exceedingly grateful for the continued support received from the Kiwanis Club of Cle Elum.
Our mission is to assist seniors graduating from Cle Elum-Roslyn and/or Easton School Districts in completing their education beyond high school through mentoring and providing annual and/or renewable vocational and academic scholarships in order that their higher education be completed with lower levels of student debt.
Our local chapter is 100% volunteer supported. Every dollar contributed goes directly to scholarship awards for local graduating seniors and/or to the UKC Dollars for Scholars Endowment Fund. From 2006 - 2016 our major Fundraiser was our "Tee Off" for Scholars Golf Tournament held annually the last Saturday of July. In 2017 & 2018, our caring friend of UKC Dollars for Scholars, enjoyed a VIRTUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT! Our most recent fundraising event was POKER CHIPS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS! Check out the fundraising page for more info.
To date UKC Dollars for Scholars has awarded over $140,000 in scholarships to local students and accumulated over $100,000 in endowment funds through donations, grants and fundraisers. Earnings on our endowment are used to sustain our commitment to awarding renewable scholarships. See "Donate Now" tab above to make a tax-deductible donation, 100% of which will go direct to UKC Dollars for Scholars. We are a 501(c)(3) and our EIN is 46-5142633.
