About

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation was founded in 1993 to provide opportunities for those who want a basic education. The foundation assists students as they learn English or prepare for a high school equivalency test. Recently, the focus has shifted to helping non-native English speakers in the community access these literacy services.

Dr. Logsdon from the Center for Literacy has partnered with the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for many years to help with adult literacy. However, this is the first time such a great effort has been made to connect these services with non-native English speakers in the community. She hopes this will make a big difference for those needing help improving their literacy skills.

Eligibility

Students can use the scholarship to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. The scholarship recipients will each receive $500 for 30 hours of ESL community instruction. Dr. Jeremy Logsdon, Assistant Professor of Teacher Education and Director of the Center for Literacy, is offering the scholarship thanks to funding from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
