Scholarship America has been developed to mobilize America, through scholarships and educational support - making post secondary education possible for all students. In 1958, an Optometrist in Fall River, Mass., had a simple but profound idea–if everyone in his community gave just a dollar to an educational fund, it would be enough to help nearly every student in the community who wanted to attend college. Dr. Irving Fradkin called his plan "Dollars for Scholars," and it has expanded into what, today, is the nation's largest non-profit, private-sector scholarship and educational support organization.
