Testimonials
The Children with Dyslexia Scholarship Fund was a great investment in my success and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in school and life. I’m happy to hear this continues to be the case for current recipients and I encourage anyone reading this to get involved or continue their involvement.
Tim Hollinger – Scholarship Recipient 2016It’s been a pleasure working with the Children with Dyslexia Scholarship Fund. The fund not only provides financial assistance and resources to children and families that need it, but also provides a strong community for the scholarship fund participants. I’m excited for the momentum to continue and remain a thriving resource to those in need.
Karl Oppenheimer – Dean of Student Life, Kildonan SchoolThe Children with Dyslexia Scholarship Fund was there to support me and my dreams. By not having to worry about the financial burden of paying for school, I was able to focus on my passion, art. The fund provided me with a strong foundation to succeed in school, go to college and pursue a degree in art. Today, I am fulfilling my passion by creating art installations, working for Saks Fifth Avenue and building sets for Broadway shows.
