The Scholar Dollar Program is a joint effort of Prince George’s County Executive Jack B. Johnson, Prince George’s County Public Schools, The Mall at Prince Georges, and Southwest Airlines to recognize and reward students for academic excellence.
The program provides awards and special incentives to students who earn either a 3.0 GPA, Honor Roll, or other significant achievement status at each report card period. Students will receive a Discount Certificate for savings at local retailers, as well as chances to receive other prizes including gift cards and airline tickets. Students earning improved attendance status will also be recognized. Through academic achievement students have the opportunity to earn discounts that will improve the quality of life for their families.
Historical perspective
The Scholar Dollar Program began at the Mall at Prince Georges three years ago, but has expanded to all seven major malls in Prince George’s County.
Discount Certificate
Entitles students who qualify to receive a Scholar Dollar Certificate that gives the student and family 10%, 15%, or 20% off total purchases at all participating malls for a specific time period after report cards have been distributed each quarter.

With each report card period, all students that earn a 3.0 GPA, Honor Roll, or other significant achievement status will be eligible to be entered into a drawing to win a $100 and $250 Mall Gift Card. The drawing will be held after each report card period and will be drawn for each school segment (elementary, middle, high schools, and special centers).
Grand Prize
At the end of the school year, students that have received a 3.0 GPA, Honor Roll, or other significant achieve¬ment status for at least 1 report card period will be eligible to be entered into a drawing to win a $250 Mall at Prince George's Gift Card and (4) Roundtrip tickets on Southwest Airlines. Eligible students will be entered into the drawing each time that they qualified during the year (maximum 4 entries). The winner will be announced in a ceremony. A Grand Prize package will be awarded to a student in each school segment (elementary, middle, high schools, and special centers).

Eligible students will be identified by each school and will receive Scholar Dollar Discount Certificates from Prince George’s County Public Schools through their individual schools. Eligible students simply show their Discount Certificate to participating merchants during the discount period in order to receive the discount.
Scholar Dollar Program Special Events
Various programs will be held throughout the year at The Mall at Prince Georges to promote the program and encourage academic excellence.
