Information our Chapter does NOT require:

Test scores:   SAT/ACT Not Required for YDFS

Parent financial information: Yelm Dollars for Scholars offers only merit based scholarships.  If provided, our scholarship evaluators will only see the Expected Family Contribution. Our chapter can NOT see detailed information. If you are using Scholarship America, YDFS's parent organization, to apply for need-based scholarships, financial information may be required.   

References:  NOT NEEDED FOR THE DFS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION. However, if a student will apply for scholarships on the Scholarship America website, they can use a reference if needed. 

Failure to complete any required part of the scholarship process and/or application process as outlined above will result in disqualification.
