Dr. Gussie M. Ware Memorial Scholarship

The Dr. Gussie M. Ware Memorial Scholarship is administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This program is specifically designed to support non-traditional students who reside in Winnebago County. It helps recipients cover the costs associated with pursuing their higher education goals.

To apply for this opportunity, candidates must use the provider's online universal application system. This streamlined process allows applicants to complete a single questionnaire during the appropriate cycle, which automatically matches them with all the foundation's scholarships for which they qualify. Applicants should also complete the FAFSA or state equivalent if they wish to demonstrate financial need, as these details are often integrated into the foundation's review process. The application window for this program is during the Winter: Dec. 1st to Feb. 1st cycle. Candidates must ensure they submit all required materials through the online portal before the closing date to be considered for funding.
