Events for Student Scholarships

What is Events for Student Scholarships?

Events for Student Scholarships, formally known as Dollars for Scholars, is a series of activities and events designed to provide support for student financial aid. For over 30 years, Sidwell Friends has been committed to providing opportunities for community support through silent and live auctions. This tradition of auctions continues today and is enhanced by the additional programs outlined to the left. We look forward to seeing you at these events and hope you will join us in supporting these fundraising efforts.
