About Us
While the Dracut Scholarship Foundation, Inc. continually explores new and innovative fundraising opportunities to help meet the ever-increasing cost of higher education, the Annual Telethon remains the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts.
Since its inception, the Telethon has played a pivotal role in the Foundation’s growth and success. In 2007, the Foundation celebrated its 25th Annual Telethon, broadcasting live from Dracut High School. Over the years, the event has inspired extraordinary community support and generated significant resources for local students.
The impact of that support is evident in the Foundation’s scholarship growth. In 1980, the Foundation awarded 20 scholarships totaling $8,000. By 1990, that number had grown to 36 scholarships totaling $50,000. In 2026, the Foundation reached another milestone, awarding 64 scholarships totaling $145,000.
Today, the Telethon continues to be a vital part of the Foundation’s mission and a powerful example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together to invest in its students. The unwavering generosity of Dracut residents, local businesses, volunteers, and donors has helped create opportunities for generations of graduates.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping the Dracut Scholarship Foundation make a lasting difference in the lives of Dracut students.
