David L. Johnson Memorial Scholarship

The David L. Johnson Memorial Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This scholarship is specifically designed for students from Byron High School and Oregon High School who plan to pursue a career in education or teaching. It helps cover the costs of higher education for these future educators.

To apply, candidates must use the provider’s online universal application system. This streamlined process automatically matches applicants to any scholarships for which they are eligible based on their responses to background and personal questions. While the application does not require a separate state financial aid form, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA to demonstrate overall financial need if applicable. The application cycle for this particular award runs during the winter, with the submission window open from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st.
