Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. Phone-A-Thon set for February 16, 18, 23

The 2015-2016 Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. (formerly Allamakee Dollars for Scholars) phone-a-thon to be held in February is the major fundraiser for the organization and is conducted by the student applicants in conjunction with the Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. Board of Directors. Students use phone banks at Waukon High School and Waterville Elementary School and at Waukon State Bank and Farmers and Merchants Savings Bank in Waukon. Phone-a-thon dates this year are Tuesday, February 16, Thursday, February 18 and Tuesday, February 23.
Every dollar raised goes to student scholarships and is tax-deductible. All funds raised from the phone-a-thon will be awarded this spring to scholarship applicants of the Waukon High School Class of 2016. Pledges need to be returned by March 30 so that spring scholarship plans by the organization can be completed. Besides the pledge support solicited during the phone-a-thon, students can share information about Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. and activities and the chapter’s endowment fund.
Julie Rotach, Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. President, stated, "The community encouragement for the students has been super in past years and we hope to continue that educational support this year.  Since 1993, Allamakee Scholarship Fund, Inc. has awarded $813,520 in scholarships to 1,405 graduating seniors and alumni in the ACSD.  Last year, 60 students received $56,435 in scholarship awards.
