SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
DCF
believes that one of the keys to solving many of California’s
and Georgia’s educational problem, lies in the development of an
effective partnership alliance between the business community
and the local school system. In this regard, DCF and the local
school system will be required to collaborate during and
after the development, and the establishment of a comprehensive
scholastic achievement program to encourage and to reward
academic excellence. This program will be used to reverse the
trend in education in our low-income and disenfranchised
neighbor school, where it has been statistically proven that a
significant number of its talented seniors do not go on to
college, to a university, or receive technical school training
before entering the work force. This unified and collaborative
effort is essential, if the partnership between DCF and the
local school systems are to be successful in identifying
and rewarding such students for their academic achievement with
an opportunity to receive a partial or full year's scholarship
to advance their academic skills in science and mathematics at a
College, University, or Technical School of their choice. Basic
needs are centered around:
-
Promoting and supporting
corporate-sponsored scholarships for high school
students with a low income status household.
-
Giving scholarly high
school students from low income families an equal
opportunity to compete more effectively in an otherwise
less competitive academic setting against more affluent
students.
-
Creating and promoting a
more competitive academic environment for the study of
science and mathematics by high school scholars.
-
Giving Corporate America
the edge and the opportunity to compete more effectively
against foreign businesses that sell products or
services in the U.S., and the opportunity to regain its
leadership role in technology.
-
Helping talented students
from low income families to break the cycle of poverty
and to become a more progressive and productive member
of the local market economy.
The Daniel and Craft Foundation
supports efforts to make Corporate America more responsive
and responsible to the scholastic achievement and economic needs
of underrepresented high school students that come from low
income or underprivileged family groups in California and
Georgia. DCF encourages each local corporation to make annual
contributions to the scholarship fund.
DCF has adopted a resolution to
establish a Corporate-Sponsored Scholarship Fund with a
Committee on Education and Scholastic Achievement to administer
the program on a regional level in the states of California and
Georgia. This scholarship program shall commence immediately
following DCF’s receipt of its non-profit status.
