Scholarship America's mission is to expand access to educational opportunities by involving and assisting the private sector in the support of students and in the encouragement of educational achievement.

Scholarship America is the only national organization dedicating its charitable purpose to the creation and support of community scholarship foundations (Dollars for Scholars chapters). Scholarship America also designs and manages scholarship programs (Scholarship Management Services) for hundreds of corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals, and uses the funds generated from these services to support Scholarship America's charitable purpose, Dollars for Scholars. Another program of Scholarship America is ScholarShop, a community-based resource center designed to motivate and prepare students for post-secondary education.

These volunteers are serving on the Regional Board of Directors for 2004-2007
