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

Student Info:

**High School Seniors - (May 2026 graduates) The application period for our 2026 first-year scholarships has closed and the scholarships have been awarded.  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 is open as of May 6, 2026.  The applications period will close on July 1 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.
