Through a dedicated nonprofit foundation, eligible applicants—including local high school seniors, emergency medical responders, and preservation advocates—can access valuable financial support designed to foster growth and sustainability within their communities.


High school seniors from the Galena, River Ridge, and Scales Mound school districts are encouraged to apply for scholarships aimed at facilitating their pursuit of post-secondary education or vocational training. These scholarship awards typically cover tuition, fees, and essential educational materials, providing crucial financial assistance for young scholars eager to advance their academic careers.

Applications are accessible, allowing residents to engage directly with the foundation’s initiatives.
