Scholarship Committee

Committee Overview

The Scholarship Committee, in partnership with the Parkland College Foundation, issues scholarship awards to recognize High School Seniors for their outstanding leadership, community participation, and service within the community.

Selection Process

The Scholarship Committee will select the applicants who will receive scholarships. Incomplete application packages will not be considered. Awards are based on various factors, including character, community involvement, financial need, and seriousness of pursuing a post secondary education. Those awarded scholarships will be notified in April annually. Checks for the scholarship amount will be issued directly to Parkland College. Those awarded scholarships will be recognized in person during the May Village Board Meeting.
