Taylor Scholarship Deadline May 23

High school seniors planning to attend Illinois Valley Community College next fall have until Friday, May 23 to apply for a new scholarship worth up to $2,000.

IVCC alums William and Dian Taylor of Winnetka are sponsoring the scholarship for five full-time students who demonstrate high potential for success. The scholarship will pay $500 per semester for up to four semesters if the student maintains a 3.0 GPA.

To be eligible, students must have a minimum high school GPA of 2.75 and plan to transfer to a four-year college or university after IVCC. Consideration will be given to students who are first-generation (parents do not have a four-year college degree) and/or have financial need.

A recommendation letter from a high school instructor, counselor, administrator or a community member is required with the application. The letter should address the student’s character and potential.

Applications are available in the Foundation office (C202) or under Scholarships at www.ivccc.edu/foundation. For information call 815. 224.0551.
