In 1994, Bob Steele stopped by the Cloverdale School administration office intending to leave a donation to cover some family expenses from many years ago. Mrs. Terri Bailey, the office secretary, insisted that he meet with the Superintendent, Steve Wittenauer, before leaving. From that meeting, the Cloverdale Scholarship Fund was started for Cloverdale Community High School. Al Tucker and Dr. Keith Ernst joined the effort, along with Bob Gerlach, owner of Clover Meadows Golf Course. That group started a golf tournament in memory of Chad Tucker and Brad Gerlach, and that annual tournament remains a major source of scholarship funds. In 2011, the first annual Phone A Thon was held. Since then, hundreds of parents, current students, alumni, families, businesses and concerned citizens have contributed time and money to this fund.
In 2004, the Cloverdale Scholarship Fund became an affiliate of Scholarship America,and became the Cloverdale Community Dollars for Scholars.
