Did you know? This year, Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars awarded $576,000 in scholarships to our Class of 2026 scholars.

That number represents more than financial support. It represents students who believed college was possible and took the steps to get there. The Next Level Scholars program exists to make sure every student in our community has the resources and encouragement to pursue life after high school. We are so proud of our Class of 2026.

Happy National Higher Education Day! ๐ŸŽ“

Today we're celebrating something we believe in deeply: that every student deserves access to higher education, regardless of their zip code or their bank account.

For the 1,000+ students we serve each year through our Next Level Scholars program, this day is personal. We're proud to walk alongside them as they take some of the biggest steps of their lives.

Thank you to every family, donor, and partner who makes this work possible. Together, we're opening doors that might otherwise stay closed ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“ข Attention students and families: the FAFSA deadline is June 30th!

That's less than a month away, and we want to make sure every student in our community crosses the finish line. Submitting your FAFSA is one of the most important steps toward making college a reality. Don't let the deadline sneak up on you.

Visit fafsa.gov to apply or check your status. And as always, if you have questions or need support, DRDFS is here to help ๐Ÿ’™

Last week, Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars Executive Director Christa Funk attended the Mackinac Policy Conference, joining leaders from across Michigan for conversations about education, workforce development, philanthropy, business, and the future of our state.

Throughout the conference, one message remained clear: students must remain at the center of the work. Discussions focused not only on policy and systems, but on the actions needed to better support students and help them achieve their goals.

DRDFS is grateful for opportunities like these that foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and strengthen our collective commitment to creating brighter futures for Michigan students ๐ŸŽ“

Today, weโ€™re celebrating our DRDFS Class of 2026 College Scholars and the incredible achievement of earning their college degrees! ๐ŸŽ“

Graduation represents so much more than receiving a diploma. It reflects years of dedication, resilience, growth, and determination. Every challenge overcome, every lesson learned, and every milestone reached has helped shape this incredible group of scholars. We are honored to celebrate this moment and all they have accomplished along the way โœจ
