BCMW has announced $750 scholarships will be awarded to low-income students in Bond, Clinton, Marion and Washington Counties. 

The scholarships, which are funded by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, are available to low-income students attending an accredited Illinois two-year college, vocational school, or four-year colleges and universities. 

Applicants must be permanent residents of the four counties served by BCMW and can be used for education expenses and payments sent directly to the school. 

Eligibility is based on income, grade-point average, a career goals statement, three letters of recommendation, and an interview with the scholarship committee. 

Applications can be picked up at a BCMW office or online at bcmwcommunityservices.org. For more information, call 532-7388 ext 127.
