Students whose permanent addresses
lie within the 44th District are eligible. Eight one-year tuition
waivers, for fall 2004 and spring 2005, are available to students who
will be attending state universities, with one specifically designated
for a nursing student attending Illinois State University. Eight
scholarships for summer 2005 will be 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. I
will not be involved in the decision-making process.
Requests for applications must be
sent in letter form to my office and should include the student's home
and school address and phone number. The office address is 2203 Eastland
Drive, Suite 3, Bloomington, IL 61704.
General
Assembly scholarships are presented by all Illinois lawmakers to college
students across the state. Selection is based upon merit of the
applicants.
