TESTIMONIALS
I chose Southeastern Illinos Community College to further my education and prepare me for my bachelors degree, as well as be able to play collegiate softball. It has been a fantastic experience so far! My classes have been challenging and the competition on the softball field has been exceptional!

Going to John A. Logan Community College allowed me to complete my prerequisites for nursing school and obtain my Associates Degree in Arts before acheieving a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Small and affordable classes, as well as an accessible campus all made for a good community college experience.

I am so very thankful to have received your scholarship because it is so hard to manage a household, work, and go to school full-time. Without the extra help, I may never be able to fulfill my life's dreams of becoming a registered nurse. The extra help has allowed me to better focus on assignments and clinicals without rushing to work full-time too. My family and I are forever grateful!

The assistance from the ICCSF is much appreciated. I will keep working hard and hope to continue proving that I am a worthy recipient as I move toward my future career in healthcare. The cost of books was a much larger expense than I was anticipating, and I’m so relieved to have funds set aside for future classes. I am currently in the nursing program, and, upon completion of my associate’s degree, plan to further my education to become a nurse practitioner.

This scholarship will help me be able to afford things I have needed for this semester, such as books and supplies for class. I am pursuing this degree in nursing to help people, and I would not be able to do it without this help. I plan to become a certified wound and ostomy nurse and help people heal their wounds and address any issues with their ostomies, whether that involves ill-fitting appliances or a new ostomy that they do not know how to care for.

Attending Lincoln Land Community College has been a transformative experience. Thanks to the affordable and easily accessible programs there I am able to launch my career debt free and have freedom to pursue my aspirations. I will forever be grateful to Lincoln Land for an education that has equipped me for my future successes.

I attended the College of Lake County from 2020 to 2022, a practical choice during the pandemic and also because I was financially responsible for my own education. What I didn’t expect was the exceptional education I received, the meaningful relationships I built with professors and classmates, and the sense of belonging I found through clubs and organizations. I highly recommend CLC to anyone pursuing an associates degree or even just looking to take a few classes. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Shawnee Community College provided me with great opportunities. The staff and all of my professors were very kind and helpful and college had a small and homey culture. During my time there I was able to decide on my career path and what degree I wanted to pursue at a 4 year university. I was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship to Shawnee Community College after winning the title of Miss Metropolis Outstanding Teen. A few of my instructors even helped me prepare for the Miss Illinois competition by giving feedback on my talent, interview, and presentation skills. I experienced significant growth while attending Shawnee Community College and would recommend a community college to anyone.
