Friends of DBA will be awarding DBA scholarships for the Fall 2023 school year! Scholarships are not only for continuing education but also for all types of schooling for all ages. Applicants' submissions will be based on the Friends of DBA mission statement as well as their educational area of interest. Other considerations will be made based on an individual’s needs and type of schooling - vocational/trade school and educational disability support.  Applicants range in age from 1 to 100.

For more information or questions contact Friends of DBA Executive Director.
