Deborah J. Grenlund Memorial Scholarship

The Deborah J. Grenlund Memorial Scholarship is a regional program designed to assist students from Boone County who are pursuing higher education. Administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, this opportunity is specifically reserved for local residents who demonstrate financial need. The funding is intended to help cover the costs of college tuition and related educational expenses.

To be considered for this assistance, applicants must complete the provider's online universal application. This streamlined process automatically matches students with the awards they qualify for based on their responses to personal background questions. Because eligibility is based on financial need, applicants should also expect to submit financial details, which is typically done by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to generate the necessary financial need documentation. The application window for this program is open during the winter cycle, which runs from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st.
