BDFS Shows Significant Growth

Bellingham Dollars for Scholars is proud to show that we are growing year by year.

Bellingham Dollars for Scholars is a program of Whatcom Community Foundation.

The chart below shows how BDFS has awarded more scholarships, more dollars, and has grown the endowment fund considerably over the last 6 years. Another measure of our success is that more students are applying for scholarships each year. In 2007 we received 68 scholarship applications, and in 2009 130 applications were submitted by the deadline.

These accomplishments would not have been possible without the generous contributions of our donors and the work of our dedicated volunteer Fund Advisory Committee members.
