Douglas County Senior Perseverance Scholarship:
Each year in May, we award a scholarship to one senior from each of our high schools in Douglas County. Please support the DCSD Senior Perseverance Scholarship by eating at your local Chick-Fil-A restaurant all day on March 2nd. We have a fundraiser called Chicken for a Cause for the DCSD Perseverance Scholarship that all of our Chick-Fil-A restaurants in Douglas County are partnering to support this scholarship.
From open to close on Monday, March 2, mention this DCSD Scholarship at any Douglas County Chick-Fil-A and a minimum 10% of your order will go towards the DCSD Perseverance Scholarship Fund!
The DCSD Perseverance Scholarship Fund allows the Douglas County School District to award one scholarship to a senior from each of our 9 high schools and each of our alternative high schools in Douglas County who have shown resilience and persevered through hardships to graduate. Now, you can help them pursue their dreams. Chicken for a Cause (English) Chicken for a Cause (Spanish)
