Rivermont Collegiate is excited to announce senior Summer Lawrence, daughter of Sherry Maurer and Mike Lawrence of Rock Island, is a recipient of the $5,000 Jane & Clem Werner Scholarship through the Community Foundation of the Great River Bend. Summer will attend Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH in the fall. This scholarship, in fact, helped finalize her college decision!
A scholarship reception will be held this Sunday, May 18th at the Outing Club in Davenport from 2:00-4:00 p.m. for grant funders, scholarship recipients, and their families.
The Jane & Clem Werner Scholarship awards five $5,000 scholarships annually to deserving seniors from five local high schools: Davenport Central, Davenport North, Davenport West, Bettendorf, and Rivermont Collegiate. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale or be in the upper one-third of his or her graduating class. It is the Werner's strong preference that the student attend a private liberal arts college located outside of the 150-mile radius of Arsenal Island. Applications are evaluated on need.
The Community Foundation administers multiple scholarship funds, all started by caring donors who are passionate about helping others attain higher education credentials. This year, 34 students will receive over $233,850 to further their education. A complete list of Community Foundation of the Great River Bend scholarship recipients is attached.
