Community Service Scholarship for 2019 High School Freshmen

The Woodridge Special Events Committee (WSEC) is once again sponsoring their annual scholarship to honor its founder, Joel Kagann. The award will be presented to a current eighth grade student living in Woodridge, based on his/her community service involvement. The award will pay up to $500 for the winner's registration fees for his/her first year in high school.

Joel Kagann, founder of the Woodridge Special Events Committee, was an active member of the Woodridge Community for over 50 years. His entire life was dedicated to serving others in the community. The WSEC continues to honor his service through this scholarship.

Students can be nominated by their school, the service organization(s) with whom they served or through self-nomination. ANY eight grader who has helped out in the community is eligible. Please call 630-963-1975 for an application form and it will be mailed to you. As a convenience, forms are also available in the School Offices of Jefferson Junior High School and St. Scholastica School.

Nominations must be received by March 29, 2019 and the winner will be notified by April 30, 2019.
