Welcome to the Deanes Pencil Fund Webpage!
Our fund was established in 2021 with one purpose in mind, helping students graduate from college with reduced student loan debt. Since that time, we have held various fundraisers to meet that goal. As an endowment fund, we invest the proceeds and award scholarships based on the earnings from the fund. We awarded scholarships of $3,000, $5,000 and $8,500 in 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. In 2025 we will award $16,500 in scholarships!
