The Des Plaines Community Foundation awarded five, $1,500 scholarships to 2021 Des Plaines college-bound students. This is the ninth year the foundation has offered scholarships.
According to Rosemary Argus, executive director of the foundation, the annual scholarships are available for both two- and four-year college students starting school in 2021.
"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 for students who need it most."
