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 Memorial Scholarship, which is being dedicated as a tribute to all who worked to begin this society in 1981. It will provide a high school student who lives or goes to school in Will County, and will be graduating in spring of 2018, with a $1000 scholarship to use at the college, university or trade school of his or her choice.

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 four week, well supervised exploration of Irish Heritage. To date, we have sent 47 teens on the Irish Way. In 2018, the IASCW is offering $3,000 towards the Irish Life Experience. See below for more details. |
