Scholarships - Founding Fathers (college)
|
Since its founding in 1981, one of the essential purposes of the Irish American Society of County Will has been to promote education, friendship, understanding and cooperation among members and the community in general
This year we have established the Founding Fathers Scholarship. The Founding Fathers Memorial Scholarship is being dedicated as a tribute to all who worked to begin this society in 1981. It will provide a high school student graduating in spring of 2017 with a $1000 scholarship to use at the college, university or trade school of his or her choice. Application Press Release |
Scholarships - Irish Life Experience (high school)
|
Since its founding in 1981, the Irish American Society of County Will has placed high value on keeping our Irish traditions alive. A few years later, when Fr Kevin O'Neill Shanley, O.Carm. proposed that we send a worthy high school student to study in Ireland, the board readily agreed. The Society has, since that time, selected at least one high school student from the county to represent us at this six week, well supervised, exploration of Irish Heritage. To date, we have sent 29 teens on the Irish Way. See below for more details. |
