The Saydel Eagle Endowment Fund is a non-profit organization. Formerly known as the Dollars for Scholars, this organization started awarding their first scholarships in 2002. This program awards equal scholarships to all students who complete the application process, and most colleges match that donation. To date, the program has awarded over $80,000 in college scholarships to more than 500 graduating seniors over the past 14 years.
The Endowment Fund is approximately $150,000. This has been possible through the efforts of current and past board members and public donations.
In 2004, the Saydel Eagle Endowment Fund received the Golden Tassel Award for outstanding chapter in the country. The award was based largely on the people that helped build a house, with almost $100,000 going to the endowment.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please contact Cody Nelson at 515-210-4162 or the Saydel District Office at 515-264-0866.
