The Kendall-Grundy scholarship program awards scholarships annually to clients to aid them in obtaining formal education or occupational training from an accredited Illinois educational institution. Scholarships may be used for tuition and fees, textbooks, supplies or room and/or board. Scholarship awards will be made directly to the college or university’s financial aid office. All qualified applicants must: be residents of Kendall or Grundy County; demonstrate financial need; possess a high school diploma or GED; and be accepted into an Illinois college or university, or occupational training program on at least a half-time basis.
Kendall-Grundy Community Action (KGCA) provides a variety of services to residents of both Kendall and Grundy counties. Our programs offer assistance to income-eligible families to obtain the opportunities needed to encourage self-sufficiency. The funding is provided by Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services. KGCA constantly strives to meet the changing demands and needs of the growing community.
