    About this scholarship

    The Amber Huber Memorial Scholarship is a renewable financial aid program administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This scholarship is specifically designed to support students from Byron High School who have a background in athletics. It helps cover the costs of higher education for student-athletes as they transition from high school to college.

    To apply, candidates must use the provider's online universal application system. This streamlined process automatically matches applicants to all programs for which they qualify based on their answers to background questions. While the provider does not require a separate state application or FAFSA for the initial matching process, students should be prepared to share relevant financial and academic information if prompted by the universal form. The application cycle for this winter scholarship runs from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st. Recipients who meet the ongoing eligibility criteria may renew the award for subsequent years of study.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.

    Our methodology

    Avoid scholarship scams

    Real scholarships never charge an application fee, never guarantee you will win and never ask for bank or card details.
