Zeta Chapter Memorial Award

The Zeta Chapter Memorial Award is a scholarship program designed to support future teachers. Offered by the Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, which is an organization of women educators from Boone and Winnebago Counties, the award helps students pursuing a career in education cover their educational expenses. The program is administered by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois.

To apply, candidates must complete the foundation's online universal application. This single application automatically matches students to all scholarships for which they qualify based on their background and responses to specific questions. Once matched, applicants must submit a unique response to a written prompt tailored to this specific award. While the application does not explicitly require a FAFSA submission, students should complete all sections of the universal application to ensure full consideration. The application cycle closes on the deadline of February 1st.
