Alpha Delta Kappa Xi Education Scholarship

The Alpha Delta Kappa Xi Education Scholarship is a regional program designed for graduate students from Boone County, Ogle County, Stephenson County, or Winnebago County in Illinois. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in education or teaching to qualify for this funding. Administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, the scholarship helps cover educational expenses for students preparing for careers in the classroom.

To apply, students must complete the foundation's online universal application. This system automatically matches applicants to all programs for which they are eligible based on their responses to background and personal questions. While the foundation does not require a separate state financial aid application for this specific award, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA to demonstrate overall financial need if applicable. The application cycle for this scholarship is open during the winter, running from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st.
