Welcome! Solon Dollars for Scholars® - Solon, Iowa - is now in our 34th year!

Student Info:

**High School Seniors - (May 2027 graduates)  The application period for our 2027 first-year scholarships is now open!  Start your account profile and application by going to the Students and Parents tab.  There is a link on that page to a PDF which you can follow as a guide.  You must fill out all the ** (double asterisk) items in each section of the application.  After you enter all the ** items, be sure to click on "Save and Look for Scholarships", then "apply" to the "First-Year High School Seniors" scholarship.  The deadline for submitting your application is March 22, 2027.  No late applications will be accepted.

**First-Year College Students - (May 2026 graduates) Haven't received your scholarship, yet?  Follow the instructions in your award letter to receive your scholarship check.  Note there is a two-step process - 1) email us (dollarsforscholars.solon@gmail.com) a copy of your Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 class schedule as proof of full-time enrollment*(see below), and 2) you must log in to your profile on this website and accept your award.  We cannot issue a scholarship check until both steps are completed!  The deadline for accepting your scholarship is February 15, 2027.  After Feb. 15, we are not able to issue any first-year scholarship checks.

*New for 2026 - please also include in your email to us:  Your student ID# at college and a mailing address for your college's financial aid office - we will send checks directly to the school.

 

College Students (Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors) - The 2026 Continuing Education Scholarship application has been completed.  The applications period for summer 2027 scholarships will open in May, 2027 and will close on July 1, 2027 with short interviews to follow later that month.  These scholarships vary between $1,000 and $2,500 per year and some are renewable for up to 2 additional years.  To apply, please visit the Parents and Students tab and log into your account - similar to how you did it for the first-year scholarships.  For a refresher - see the PDF on the Students and Parents tab.  Instead of applying to the first-year scholarship, make sure you apply to the Continuing Education Scholarship.
