Make the Most of Your Scholarship

DMSF Scholars receive far more than financial assistance.  There are a wide range of additional services available to you to make sure that you do well in school and are ready to gain admission to, and receive financial aid to attend, the college or university of your choice.

The Mentor Program

Do you have a mentor?  Do you want a mentor?  Any DMSF Scholar who does not already have a mentor through a different organization can be paired with a DMSF adult mentor.  Mentors are great sources of advice and inspiration.  Plus, DMSF schedules fun activities for DMSF mentors and Scholars.

Tutoring

Asking for extra help is hard to do, but it sure beats getting a C, or worse, in any class.  If you are struggling in a class, or believe you could benefit from extra assistance, talk to DMSF about tutoring assistance.

Summer Opportunities

Summers are too valuable to waste sitting at home with nothing to do.  Every DMSF Scholar who attends a day school is expected to attend the DMSF Summer Opportunities Fair, held each February on President’s Day. Here you can learn about a variety of work, travel and academic programs.  All Scholars are also eligible to apply to participate in the DMSF Caddie Program.

College Counseling

Why does DMSF employ a full-time college counselor?  To make certain that every single DMSF Scholar gets all of the assistance that he or she needs to gain admission to, and receive financial aid from, a college or university which that Scholar wants to attend.  It is never too early to start thinking about college, or to schedule a meeting with the DMSF college counselor.
