The Des Plaines Community Foundation will sponsor four $1,500 scholarships to local area colleges.

“We believe that helping our young adults obtain a college education is an investment, not only in the future of our youth, but also in the future of Des Plaines,” said Argus. “The scholarships will help bring a college degree within reach of the students who need it most.”

Last year the Foundation granted four $1,500 scholarships to Des Plaines-based students. Check www.desplainescommunityfoundation.org or call Rosemary Argus at 847-297-4932 to apply.
