DHS PTO College Scholarship Fund Accepting Donations |
For more than 40 years, The Deerfield High School PTO has sponsored an annual college scholarship fund to benefit deserving Deerfield High School seniors. With the rising cost of a college education and the continuing economic strain on many families, especially over the last couple of years, a college degree might be out of financial reach for some of our students.
Please consider making a gift of ANY AMOUNT by March 4th. See the PTO letter linked below for more details about how to contribute to this important fund.
