THE SCJ ComEd LATINO SCHOLARSHIP
December 23, 2007
n partnership with ComEd, SCJ announces the creation of the SCJ ComEd Latino Scholarship Fund. The scholarships will be awarded to qualifying Latino students who are Illinois residents returning to school in areas of concentration, such as, Math, Engineering, Communications & Media Relations, Chemistry, Physics, Liberal Arts, Law or Pre-Law, MBA or Business, Computer Science, or Accounting. Scholarship awards will range between $2,500 and $5,000.
In early 2007 SCJ announced the creation of the SCJ - ComEd Latino Scholarship Fund and the first round of scholarship money has been awarded.
“ComEd and SCJ have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership centered on education,” said Mary Gonzalez-Koenig, president and founder of the Spanish Coalition for Jobs. “Each of us clearly
understands the connection between education and a strong community. No community can achieve its dreams without effective education and job training. This scholarship program will go a long way in helping individuals and our community move forward in achieving individual and collective dreams.”
Latino students who qualify and wish to attain a greater level of post-secondary education can receive the additional support toward achieving their personal and professional goals.
Latino students will be required to fill out an application, available at the link below, write an essay describing their educational and professional objectives, and go through an interview.
All application evaluations will be made by a panel of experts in education, business and science whose decisions will be based on all the factors of: area of study, application, essay and interview.
“Many of SCJ graduates have gone on to receive undergraduate and graduate degrees,” stated SCJ Director Elba Aranda-Suh, “and they are an example of the many more who have the drive, the desire and the ability to gain degrees but may not have all the means. This scholarship fund will support those individuals to further their education, and ultimately, get better jobs.”
