Funds were raised primarily through the tireless efforts of submarine officers' wives' organizations throughout the United States.
Today DSF receives individual, corporate, and memorial donations, as well as continued strong support from the submarine community and spouse organizations.
The number of new awards granted each year is determined by graduation and attrition of current Dolphin Scholars.
Dolphin Scholarship Foundation is proud to have awarded over $14,000,000 million dollars to over 1500 students attending universities and colleges throughout the United States and overseas.
DSF also proudly administers over 10 scholarships to support undergraduate and trade/vocational certification for Sailors assigned to specific submarines and their dependents.
