Pass-through scholarships

Name a pass-through scholarship with a gift of $1,000 or more.  These scholarships can be renewed yearly.

Endowed scholarships

Endow a named scholarship with a minimum gift of $10,000.  The income from that endowment would fund a $500 scholarship annually.  Larger endowments will fund larger scholarships.

Family giving

Maybe you think you could never afford to create a named scholarship?  Think again!  Become a leader and bring together your whole family, pool your donations, and create a named Family Scholarship. 

Estate giving

Name Gettysburg Area Dollars for Scholars in your will and provide for an endowed scholarship or simply pass money into our general endowment fund for scholarships. 

A Lincoln for A Lincoln

Respond to our annual campaign…we will send you a Lincoln penny; in exchange, you send us a Lincoln bill (or more!).  We have given over $166,500 in Lincoln Scholarships since we began the campaign.

Support of our activities

We participate in the Adams County Community Foundation's Giving Spree; have a booth at the NHS Holiday Market; we fundraise at home football and basketball games…pledge donations toward home touchdowns and 3-point baskets; and we participate in or sponsor other events as well. Watch for them and lend your support.
