Dollars for Scholars is a three-year program with the purpose of providing all participating students enrolled in 4th-8th grades at EAPrep with a savings account to help them develop good habits around finances and savings. This program is the real-world component of the financial literacy curriculum for EAPrep students.

The Dollars for Scholars program will provide the opportunity for families to open a savings account for their student starting in the fall of 2017, and to take advantage of the several financial incentives through the program. The program will also provide financial education lessons by grade level so students can increase their knowledge and skills related to money and savings.
