The Collegiate Partners Program

The Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of American (CSFA) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to higher education by involving and assisting the private sector in the support of students and in the encouragement of higher levels of student achievement.

Students benefit because increased private sector aid provides a strong link between community scholarship efforts and institutional initiatives. One example, the CSFA’s Dollars for Scholars program awards scholarships to top students. For more information about Dowling’s partnership opportunities with the CSFA, contact the CSFA at 1-800- 248-8080.
