Scholarship applications are now available through Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. The Community Foundation manages several unique scholarships and will award $250,000 this year. The deadline for all applications (including references) is 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 23.

The requirements for each scholarship are as unique as the donors who established them. "We offer scholarships to students with GED certificates and documented disabilities. We have scholarships for current seniors and adult learners. We also award scholarships based on academic performance, financial need, and career goals. Several scholarships are renewable up to four years.” explains Joedy Hightower, President/CEO of Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. She adds, “it is our goal to distribute every available dollar we have to qualified applicants.”

Scholarship requirements and applications are available at www.enrichingourcommunity.org/Scholarships. For more information, contact Audra Clodfelter at 217-342-4988, or visit www.enrichingourcommunity.org.
