Northeast Dollars for Scholars News

 

Tax-Exempt Status Safe for Dollars for Scholars Chapters: One of the benefits of affiliation to our grassroots Dollars for Scholars chapters is that Scholarship America, in consultation with tax specialists from KPMG LLP, files a group Form 990 which lists all of our Dollars for Scholars chapters. In early May, about 800 chapters were erroneously listed by the National Center for Charitable Statistics/The Urban Institute as not having filed their Form 990 or Form 990-N, and were poised to lose their tax-exempt status. This is not true.

Because all forms were correctly completed and filed on time, Dollars for Scholars chapters are not in danger of losing their tax-exempt status.

It's well worth bookmarking and visiting often; their list of the Top Ten Student Loan Tips for Recent Graduates is a great place to start.
