Glenwood Area Dollars for Scholars


How did Dollars for Scholars begin? In 1957, Dr. Irving Fradkin of Fall River, Massachusetts, had an idea to improve his community. Young people in Fall River were not going to college. Dr. Fradkin knew successful communities need educated citizens. So, he asked his neighbors to each give $1 to a scholarship fund. Fall River citizens pulled together to raise $4,500 for 24 modest scholarships. It was this simple premise that intrigued several people in our community to form together creating the Glenwood Area Dollars for Scholars.
