Overview

Greater New York Chinese Dollars for Scholars is a chapter of Scholarship America's Dollars for Scholars network established to help students of Chinese descent achieve their full potential. Established in October of 2004, the goal of the Greater NY Chinese Dollars for Scholars is to mobilize community-based fundraising for scholarships awarded to outstanding students. The chapter also offers a variety of academic support programs connecting students with resources in the community -- including admissions and financial aid information, mentoring and professional networking opportunities as well as career development and lifeskills workshops. We continue to engage with our scholars during and after college, and the scholarship fosters a culture of giving back encouraging and supporting scholars not only to achieve their own success but also to give back to the community.
