MCIGS Scholarship Award 

​MCIGS is offering a $1,000 scholarship to be awarded in Spring 2020. Students must reside in McHenry County and attend a McHenry County high school. The scholarship is created to encourage and inspire the coming generation to learn and preserve local history as well as personal family history. The scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior with ambitions to study history, preservation of history and/or genetics as it pertains to family history. Criteria to determine the winner will include involvement in community volunteer work and commitments outside of school, letters of recommendation, a high school transcript and completion of a written essay.

Starting in February, students can also be directed to the guidance office at their high school for scholarship and application information. Please contact either of our scholarship committee members with questions: Tami Allred at Tami.Allred@mcigs.org or Laurie Stage at Laurie.Stage@mcigs.org
