"Double Your Dollar" Education Grant Program

Significant elements of the Ruritan National Foundation are the Double Your Dollar Educational grant program. These programs allow Ruritan clubs to double or quadruple their financial assistance to a student of the club’s choice. Ruritan clubs contribute $300 to the Foundation and in turn, the Foundation will double this amount for grants. Application must be made to the local Ruritan Club.

This program is not competitive, but limited to the amount of matching funds available from the Foundation. Participation in the program is limited to a first come, first served basis.

Other Educational Grants

Ruritan National Foundation also issues regular grants, which are awarded to students on the basis of financial need, character, scholarship and the applicant’s desire for higher education Regular grants, unlike the Double Your Dollar program, are awarded to students who apply directly to and are selected by the Foundation Trustees.
