"EMPOWERING OUR DOVER STUDENTS TO SOAR"
About the Dover Eagle Foundation
The Dover Eagle Foundation was founded in 2009 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Its mission is to support and enhance educational and developmental opportunities for Dover Area School District students. Through a partnership between families, the Dover Area School District, alumni, and the larger Dover community, the goal of this organization is to contribute to a positive future for the young people of Dover. The Foundation awards classroom grants to educators, provides scholarships to graduating students, and supports other initiatives for the benefit of Dover students.
Student Scholarships
Each school year, the Foundation awards scholarships to Dover Area High School students who are pursuing higher education. This includes trade schools, 2-year, or 4-year degree programs. Scholarship applications are available at the Dover Area High School Guidance Office and on this website. Click on "Read More" for the application and to see a list of past scholarship winners.
Classroom Grants
The Foundation is proud to champion the students of the Dover Area School District. One of the primary ways we do this is by awarding grants to our dedicated educators and staff, helping them bring enriching, creative learning experiences into the classroom.

Get Involved
The Dover Eagle Foundation could not exist without the support of our Dover community. The public is welcome to attend our meetings on the first Wednesday of every month at 6pm at the Dover Administration Building. Please note that no meetings are held in January or July.
