Collegiate Partners 
Collegiate Partners are postsecondary institutions that support the ongoing work of Scholarship America and the Dollars for Scholars program. Any Scholarship America scholarship—whether from a Dollars for Scholars chapter or a corporate program—brought to these campuses are used first to fill any unmet student need. If there is no unmet need, these institutions will use up to $2,500 of a scholarship to reduce the self-help portion (loan, work-study, etc.) of a student's financial aid package. Some Collegiate Partners will also match Dollars for Scholars scholarships up to a specific dollar amount.
 

Read more here about the benefits of Collegiate Partner affiliation for institutions, students and communities. To find Collegiate Partner institutions near you, search for an institution or download our most recent Collegiate Partners Directory for a complete listing of member institutions.
