The Executive Board of Granville-Tolland Dollars for Scholars would like to extend our appreciation to everyone who helped to make this year’s Harvest Fair event very successful. Without student and adult volunteers, committee members, and especially our generous sponsors and patrons, the Joust booth and our annual raffle would not have been possible. The money raised from these events will go directly toward scholarship funds for the 2019-2020 academic year.

“Like” us on Facebook, and we’ll keep you updated on the “happenings” through the year. We welcome volunteers, whether for a single event or many through the year!

We are greatly appreciative for the continuous trust and support from many individual patrons, sponsors and those who established named endowments. Collectively, this financial support provides valuable financial assistance to our Granville-Tolland undergraduate scholarship recipients.
