The Dollars for Scholars ChapterNet Student Dashboard is your "one-stop shop" for everything related to MSF scholarships. Start by creating your Student Profile. Your profile will be used to match you to different scholarship opportunities. Click here to review the list of current scholarships.

You must complete your student profile in order to apply for MSF-administered scholarships and to be able to see scholarship opportunities from Scholarship America's nationwide partners. Use the "Click to Login" button at the bottom of this page to get started. But first, read below.


 

MHS Class of 2024: you may register for a Student Profile at any time!

The application window dates for the Class of 2024 will open

January 26, 2024 and close at 11:59 pm on February 16, 2024. 


The MSF scholarship workshop will be Thursday, December 14, 2023, during flex in the high school commons area. If you miss this informational session, please check with Ms. Henkle, Mr. Whalen, or Mr. Seep for additional details and copies of the information (materials/handouts).


 

Important: All applicants must sign a Permission to Release Information form, and if under 18, a parent/guardian must also sign the Permission to Release Information form. The form is available in the Marshall High School office and must be completed and returned to the Marshall High School office. Failure to submit a signed form means your application information cannot be shared, which means your application will not be included for scholarships.


 

Tips on creating your Student Profile:

1. When creating your Student Profile Application, use a permanent personal email. DO NOT use your Marshall High School email address, as this address will not be available to you after graduation.

2. Do NOT include your name anywhere in the Student Profile Application or essays. All scholarship applications must be anonymous.    

3. It is important to fill out all sections completely and verifiably. Incomplete applications may disqualify you from scholarships.

4. Please give thoughtful attention to the Goals essay question. The Goals essay question is required and must be submitted in order for your Student Profile Application to be considered complete. The essay will help MSF get to know what makes you special and why you are a good candidate for a scholarship award. There is no limit on the length of your essay or the number of words but we recommend being concise. Give us your best! Check spelling, grammar and formatting before uploading your essay.

5. Include any and all high school activities, sports, and clubs, as well as all academic awards and recognitions.

  • Do NOT "double count" activities. For example, if you were part of FFA and helped with a food drive sponsored by the FFA, the food drive is part of FFA and should not be listed separately.
  • For examples of MHS activities, click here.
  • Activities that are part of a graded class, such as yearbook, should NOT be included. 
  • DO include volunteer activities for organizations such as the Lions Club, VFW or American Legion and at your place of worship, etc. 
  • Do NOT include middle school activities. 

6. When asked about work experience, please include how many hours per week and how long you have worked at each employer.

7. In the Test Score section, only list your highest ACT or SAT composite score. Do not list individual test area scores.

8. Financial information is NOT required to be eligible for MSF scholarships. 

9. The counselor verification will be completed AFTER our local submission deadline and will be sent and loaded to your profile electronically.

10. Scholarships available through MSF require a reference. Please make sure you have a valid, correctly spelled email address for your reference. (Yes, spelling counts!) Also, please let your reference person know they will receive an email from you directing them to the reference portion of your application. The reference person must NOT be a family member, including legal guardians. Your reference must NOT include your name on anything they submit. Do not submit any additional references. No additional documents are needed or will be accepted for local scholarships. 

* Other References: You may find a scholarship opportunity on your student dashboard that asks for an additional reference or recommendation. Please read the requirements for that scholarship and enter the appropriate information for the reference or recommendation requested by that particular scholarship. If you are asked to provide a recommendation from your local Dollars for Scholars chapter, please enter Bonnie Ernst and the following Marshall Scholarship Foundation email:  PresidentMarshallSF@gmail.com.
