SPRINGFIELD -- Students who
will be attending state universities in Illinois may submit
applications for the General Assembly Scholarship program to the
office of state Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, through March 19. |
|
Students whose permanent addresses lie
within the 44th District are eligible. Eight one-year tuition
waivers -- for fall 2005 and spring 2006 (excluding summer 2006) --
are available to students who will be attending state universities,
with one specifically designated for a nursing student attending
Illinois State University. The
remaining eight summer 2006 portions of the scholarship are
available for teachers who are continuing their education at a
state-funded school.
A panel of community and education
leaders will evaluate applications and select scholarship
recipients. Brady will not be involved in the decision-making
process.
