The Dayton-Montgomery County Scholarship Program (DMCSP) helps students over the first hurdle of a college education - paying for the first year. That boost generally gives kids the momentum they need to stay in the race and finish with a future.

Since its inception in 1981, DMCSP has awarded more than $11.5 million in last-dollar scholarships to more than 11,000 students. For many recipients, college would not have been possible without DMCSP.

"We work to make a difference in the lives of our youth, and we have been successful," said Dr. Donald Thompson, executive director of DMCSP. "Last year every student who applied for our help, and who was eligible for our help, received our help. That means hundreds of kids made it to college last year as a direct result of DMCSP."

In 2008-2009, DMCSP reached more than 600 students in 29 high schools, including seven private and parochial schools in Montgomery County:

• Archbishop Alter High School
• Brookville Local School District
• Carroll High School
• Centerville City School District
• Chaminade-Julienne High School
• Dayton Christian High School
• Dayton Early College Academy
• Dayton Public School District (7 high schools)
• Huber Heights City School District
• Jefferson Township Local School District
• Kettering City School District
• Mad River Local School District
• Miamisburg City School District
• Mound Street Academies
• New Lebanon Local School District
• Northmont City School District
• Northridge Local School District
• Oakwood City School District
• The Miami Valley School
• Trotwood-Madison City School District
• Valley View Local School District
• Vandalia-Butler City School District
• West Carrollton City School District

"College is a dream that pays off for everyone," Thompson said, "for the student, for his family, for Ohio and for the nation. We owe it to ourselves to see that everyone has a chance at a brighter future."
