Scholarship
Women in Leadership of Central Illinois (WILCI) Scholarship History
The Scholarship Fund was established in 2006 as a non-endowed fund targeted at assisting women in the Tri-County area who are pursuing college/university, post graduate, or accreditation/certification for business management/professional or entrepreneurial education. The award is intended to defer tuition, fees, books, and other academic expenses.
WILCI members, visitors, and others have supported and funded the Scholarship Fund through various programs and events. WILCI meets monthly to celebrate, connect and network with other women who are seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth. At those luncheons, members have fun ways to raise those dollars including a birthday auction and Toot Your Horn. Also, some of the proceeds from the annual Pathways to Success Conference that WILCI co-hosts support the Scholarship Fund.
Due to the ongoing dedication of the WIL Board of Directors and members, the WILCI Scholarship Fund became an endowed fund in 2015. As an endowed fund, the WILCI Scholarship Fund will be able to continue to help women in the community indefinitely. In addition, with continuous focus on “feeding the fund” over time with proceeds from these initiatives and others to come, WIL plans to increase the fund’s impact by eventually being able to award annual $1,000 or higher scholarships to two, three, or more women each year.
WIL expands its reach again this year through this annual 5K Run/1 Mile Walk - EmpowHER! Absolutely everyone is welcome, and we are so thankful for all of your support to extent opportunities to non-traditional women in our community! Race on!
