Women in Leadership of Central Illinois Scholarship Fund

This scholarship program supports women residing in the Tri-County area of Illinois who are pursuing higher education, graduate studies, or professional certification at accredited institutions. The initiative aims to foster leadership among women by helping them achieve their career and educational objectives, with a preference given to those enrolled in business, management, or other professional programs. Eligible applicants must be non-traditional female students who have spent at least three years in the workforce and have graduated from high school or earned a GED. Selection is based on the applicant's motivation to reach their career and leadership goals. Financial need is also taken into consideration if candidates are otherwise equally qualified. Recipients can use the funding to help cover the costs of their postsecondary or post-graduate educational pursuits.
