The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is offering their annual scholarship to a local student who is planning on attending a college or university in Illinois.
“One of the things that the organization does, the ISA, is provides annually scholarships. That means one student in every county submits to the local sheriff’s office and then out of those applicants, one person will be chosen. You must be attending a school in Illinois, so once you graduate high school you have to be attending an Illinois college. What degree you are looking for or even what college it is, is really not a consequence, it is just simply a merit-based award.”
The deadline for applications is March 15th for Warren County students. In addition to the scholarships, Sheriff Edwards says the new President of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association is McDonough County Sheriff Nicholas Petitgout.
Details on the ISA Scholarships:
The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association will be awarding over 100 scholarships throughout the State of Illinois to students wishing to pursue higher education during the 2024-2025 academic year. The student must be enrolled full-time at a certified institution of higher learning within the State of Illinois.
Eligibility
There shall be no restriction on any applicant by reason of race, age, creed, color, sex or national origin. The only limitations are the following:
• Applicants must be permanent Illinois residents.
• Scholarships are to be utilized at institutions of higher learning within the State of Illinois.
• Students must be enrolled as a full-time college student during the 2024-2025 school year (excluding summer session).
