April 3, 1998 NEWS RELEASE

COLLEGIATE PARTNERS WITH THE C.S.F.A.

A part of the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of America is Collegiate Partners. Collegiate Partners are colleges that have signed an agreement with the CSFA whereby they will match (for a student attending their college) up to a certain amount of the scholarship received by a student thru a Dollars for Scholar Chapter. Some colleges match scholarships and some do not.

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM is a Dollars for Scholar Chapter.

The CSF of BGM does look at all schools and if you are going to a Collegiate Partners College they will send you an application, however it would never hurt for you to check into it also.

The CSFA continues to add colleges to the list each year and this could mean a double scholarship for you.

Collegiate Partners are thru out the United States however, here are some of the Iowa colleges:

American Institute of Business in Des Moines

Buena Vista University in Storm Lake

Central College in Pella

Coe College in Cedar Rapids

Cornell College in Mount Vernon

Drake University in Des Moines
