Excel Beyond 211 Begins 10th Year Grateful for Robust Community Support

Community members, donors, and local organizations have embraced Excel Beyond 211 through their annual donations. Each October, we ask donors if they would like to contribute toward providing scholarships and support funds to our first-generation, low-income students who are graduates of a District 211 high school. These students have applied and been selected to participate in EB211’s college mentoring program. Over the years, the generous response from donors has greatly empowered EB211’s efforts.

 

We award approximately 70 Named Scholarships of $1,000 and $2,000 donated by community members. In addition, another 50 Excel Beyond 211 scholarships are provided by local donors who support our organization. We are also fortunate to receive tremendous support from local foundations and community organizations.  

 

The following foundations and community organizations have annually supported students from Excel Beyond 211 with scholarship awards.


Rotary Club of Palatine

Rotary Club of Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates

Wintrust Financial Corporation

Palatine Bank and Trust

Hoffman Estates Community Trust

Schaumburg Bank and Trust

 

Beaubien Family Foundation

Canning Foundation

Carter Foundation

Clearwater Capital Foundation

Fitzgerald Family Foundation

Foglia Family Foundation

Peters Foundation

Rose F. & Alice M. Koffend Foundation
