Program Summary

Please read all information!

In addition to classroom enrichment, Chandler Education Foundation (CEF) is committed to investing in our future by providing CUSD high school students with experiences that directly engage them in strengthening our community. The IMPACT Chandler Scholars program requires a student’s formal commitment in their freshman year:

Students commit to:

  • maintain a 3.4 or greater GPA

  • cumulative attendance at 95% or greater 

  • submit at least 100 hours of community service* before April 1st of their senior year

Students who fulfill all program requirements are considered IMPACT Chandler Scholars and receive additional honors at graduation including letters of recommendation and an honor cord to wear with their cap and gown. 

IMPACT Chandler Scholars are then considered eligible to apply for an IMPACT Scholarship. These scholarships are typically around $1,000 per award and are based upon available funding each year. 

In 2023, the Foundation awarded over $76,000 in IMPACT Scholarships. 

*IMPACT Chandler Scholars program participants are asked to volunteer in their community.  We encourage students to volunteer for a variety of organizations.  Volunteer hours will not be credited for service provided at a faith-based organization where volunteer time does not benefit the broader community.  For example, church services/childcare/meal service for members of a church. See the downloadable Community Service Activity form for additional information, or contact us if further clarification is needed.

Helpful Hints

  • Volunteering for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC)? A photo image of the packing session information serves as verification of your participation. You will no longer receive a signed form at the site. When submitting through Infinite Campus, leave the supervisor's email blank. Documentation (photo of board) should be saved and available upon request. 
  • Travel time is not included in volunteer hours.
  • When submitting through Infinite Campus, PLEASE consolidate and enter only once for the same location.  You may select a date range and include multiple days.
