Indiana Dollars for

  Scholars® recognizes

  Salem Chapter for

  Innovative

  Programming

Salem Education Dolars for Scholars® received state recognition from the Indiana Dollars for Scholars in 2012 by earning the Most Innovative Programming Award for its Lion Legacy program.  The award included recognition at the state level, a crystal trophy and $1,000 in scholarship funding for a 2012 SHS graduate. The legacy program completed its fourth year in Spring 2013 and has honored 23 Salem High School graduates for their accomplishments in a variety of fields.  These alumni return to share their experiences with current students along with how their SHS schooling prepared them for life.

Salem Education Foundation Dollars for Scholars® members are pleased with their Lion Legacy program not only because it brings in funding, but also because it blends seamlessly with our mission to engage our community in support of local students pursuing higher education.  Unlike earlier fundraisers, we created this event to involve a wide range of community members rather than typical fundraising projects such as door-to door sales or sponsoring a sports tournament.  The success of our program demonstrates a strong commitment from our community to enthusiastically support local high school students
