Starved Rock Country Community Foundation announces scholarships

OTTAWA — The Starved Rock Country Community Foundation has announced the availability of scholarship applications.

The Carol and Dick Janko Scholarship was created for recent and upcoming high school graduates who are enrolled in an accredited university or college for the fall semester, and who can demonstrate recent studies or work related activities focused on entrepreneurship. The five $1,000 scholarships reflect the Janko family's commitment to youth, education, economic development and philanthropy. Applications for the scholarships are available at all high schools in LaSalle, Livingston, Bureau and Putnam counties, and at www.srccf.org.

B&B SmartWorx, powered by Advantech, has established The Internet of Things (IoT) Scholarship for Engineering, Science and Technology. Preference will be given to students who can demonstrate a specific interest or have been involved in engineering, science and/or technology at school or in the community, and have taken related technical courses. A male and a female student will each receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Winners will be selected by the Scholarship Committee of the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation after a thorough review of all appropriate and complete scholarship applications. The application deadline is March 31. For more information, call 815-252-2906.
