Independence Area Dollars for Scholars Chapter, which serves the communities of Rowley, Brandon and Independence, Iowa, was organized October 2002.
Each year an Awards Reception is held the second week in May to honor our graduating seniors.  At our last Awards Reception, we awarded 151 scholarships to 54 seniors that totaled over $103,000.

Our investment committee manages endowment funds of nearly $800,000 and several more donors fund scholarships annually.
