Dr. Constance L. Goode Memorial Scholarship

The Dr. Constance L. Goode Memorial Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This scholarship is specifically designed to support students who are enrolled in or have graduated from Rockford Public School District #205. It aims to assist individuals who demonstrate a commitment to civic engagement and community service.

To apply, candidates must use the foundation's online universal application system. This streamlined process automatically matches applicants to all awards for which they qualify based on their answers to a series of background questions. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA for all of its programs, completing federal or state financial aid applications is highly recommended, as many matching awards consider financial need. The application cycle for this specific scholarship runs during the winter, with the submission window open from Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st. Funding is intended to help cover the cost of tuition and related educational expenses at accredited postsecondary institutions.
