Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Awarding $58,000 in Scholarships

Calling all future Illinois students!

I am excited to inform you all that the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association is set to award more than $58,000 in scholarships for those seeking to pursue higher education during the 2025-26 academic school year through their College Scholarship Program.

These scholarships are offered to any permanent Illinois resident who plans to enroll full-time at an in-state institution of higher learning and can be used to cover tuition, fees, and books. Applications forms are now available at your local Sheriff’s or online at the link below. Applications, along with a completed essay and other required forms must be submitted to your county’s Sheriff’s office by March 14, so don’t delay!

I would encourage any residents considering higher education to take advantage of this incredible opportunity and apply for a chance to be awarded these grants. Thank you to the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association for your generous investment into our state’s future!
