Stamford Dollars for Scholars announces the expansion of its 2016 scholarship awards. The number of scholarships to be awarded in June will increase to 29 scholarships. Additionally, the scholarship funds to be awarded will increase by over 17% to approximately $84,000. Online access to the 2016 application for these scholarships remains open through April 10, 2016. All Class of 2016 students who reside or attend high school in Stamford and are pursuing full-time, either a two- or four-year college education or accredited vocational training, are eligible to apply.
"This year, we are able to increase the number of scholarships and the amount awarded due to the generosity of our new sponsored scholarships from the Tarzia Group, Stamford Business Network, John and Betty Burkhardt Memorial Scholarship, Mezzapelle & Associates and from enhancements to the Daniela Romano Scholarship through SPEF and the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin Scholarships," said Ga ry Freeman, President of the organization. "Additionally, the financial support from local donors, including Connecticut's Credit Unions through the #CUs GiveBack social media contest and Fairfield County's Giving Day powered by Fairfield County's Community Foundation and Bank of America, has enabled us to increase our 2016 awards. We are so grateful for these donations."

Additionally, as Stamford Dollars for Scholars is an affiliate of Scholarship America, applicants automatically gain access to Scholarship America's valuable resources and can search other relevant scholarship opportunities.
