Dorothy Cleland Memorial NSDAR Scholarship

The Dorothy Cleland Memorial NSDAR Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This scholarship is specifically designed for students attending Auburn High School in Winnebago County who demonstrate financial need. The funding is intended to help recipients cover the costs of pursuing their higher education goals.

To apply, candidates must complete the provider's online universal application. This system simplifies the process by automatically matching applicants to all scholarships for which they qualify based on their background information and financial circumstances. Because the program targets students with financial need, applicants should expect to submit financial documentation, which typically involves completing the FAFSA or a state-based financial aid application to verify their eligibility status. The application cycle for this winter scholarship runs from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st.
