Davenport Schools Foundation names 2023 scholarship recipients

Forty-six students from the Davenport Community School District (DCSD) will have their part of their continuing education paid for with help from the Davenport Schools Foundation.

The Foundation recently announced that 50 scholarships worth over $95,000 have been awarded to 46 students to follow their post-secondary education plans. The scholarships are possible because of the generosity of donors who invest in students in the district.

“As we know, the cost of higher education is a barrier for many students,” said DCSD Superintendent TJ Schneckloth. “The 50 scholarships awarded here today not only make college more affordable, but also prepare our graduates to be life-long learners and productive citizens – key components of our Board’s mission. I look forward to continued opportunities to collaborate with the foundation and its board and thank them for their commitment to our students.”

The scholarship recipients will be honored at a reception at the DCSD Achievement Service Center on Monday, May 22 at 4:15 p.m. They’ll also be recognized at the School Board meeting later that evening.
