The Duneland
Education Foundation (DEF) is announcing that, beginning in the fall of
2018, it will administer a $5,000 scholarship to be given to one Chesterton
High School senior annually.
This scholarship is
intended for a student with financial need who meets certain minimal grade
criteria and shows evidence of a strong work ethic. Applications for the
scholarship will be accepted through Chesterton High School.
“This exciting
opportunity is made possible through a generous gift from the Dunbar Family
Foundation,” DEF said. “The Duneland Education Foundation thanks the Dunbar
Family Foundation for its continuing generosity to the foundation and the
Duneland community as a whole.”
Throughout the
year, directors of the Duneland Education Foundation work with Duneland
educators, administrators, community members, and businesses to share the
story of the DEF and to increase grant opportunities for Duneland educators.
The DEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides financial
resources to enhance opportunities for educational experiences for all K-12
students of the Duneland community.
To assist the DEF
in promoting its mission of improving educational opportunities for Duneland
students, please contact its Executive Director, Dr. Allison Kroft, at
director@dunelandeducation.org or at (219) 983-3715.
