Black ERG Student Scholarship

The Black ERG Student Scholarship is open to graduating seniors from an in-district high school or returning Waubonsee Community College students who demonstrate financial need and have a minimum 2.0 GPA; involvement in community service projects at Waubonsee will also be considered; preference will be given to students who identify as Black or African American. The Black Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Waubonsee Community College is dedicated to cultivating and maintaining an energized network of professionals in support of African American culture focusing on career and professional development, mentoring and community outreach. In our inaugural year, we seek to establish a scholarship designed to assist students that identify as Black or African American seeking to advance their academics here at the college. The scholarship may cover all or part of tuition and required course fees and may also provide support for required books for credit courses.
