About Us

The Dubuque Community School District Scholarship Fund was created to support philanthropy in the schools by assisting donors in establishing post-secondary scholarships for graduating high school students. The Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools (FDPS) provides administration for this non-endowed fund by facilitating pass-through and/or short-term scholarship donations.

Individuals who are interested in establishing a short-term or endowed (permanent) scholarship for Dubuque's public school students should contact FDPS for more information.

Donations to this fund, without a specified scholarship, will be distributed at the discretion of FDPS.
