Annie and Oscar Blackwell Scholarship

The Annie and Oscar Blackwell Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This opportunity is specifically designed for students within Rockford Public School District #205. It provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of higher education.

To apply, candidates must complete the provider's online universal application. This system simplifies the process by automatically matching students to all scholarships for which they qualify based on their answers to personal background and yes-or-no questions. While the provider does not require a separate state financial aid form or FAFSA to submit the universal application, students should be prepared to share relevant financial and academic details to determine their eligibility. The application cycle for this specific award runs during the winter, with the submission window open from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st. Funding from this program is intended to support students as they pursue their postsecondary academic goals.
