Frances Grant Triebel Memorial NSDAR Scholarship

The Frances Grant Triebel Memorial NSDAR Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, supports students pursuing their education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. To qualify, applicants must currently reside within NSDAR District 2, which encompasses the Illinois counties of Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Carroll, Ogle, DeKalb, Whiteside, Lee, Bureau, La Salle, Stark, Marshall, Putnam, and Grundy. Academic performance is a primary consideration during the selection process. The foundation utilizes a single online universal application to match students with the scholarships for which they qualify. While the application system automatically determines eligibility based on background questions, applicants must also complete a specific written prompt tailored to this award. Although this program does not explicitly require the FAFSA, completing the federal form is standard practice for demonstrating financial need. This scholarship is open from December 1st to February 1st.
