Recap: CDG’s Most Recent Scholarship Program

On Friday night, May 17, 2024, the CommUNITY Diversity Group held its Annual Scholarship Night at the La Grange Community Center.
Scholarships of up to $300 were awarded to dozens of local youth, enabling them to participate in the summer program of their choice.
To qualify for a scholarship, each student wrote an essay stating what diversity means to them. Additionally, students currently enrolled in 5th – 8th grade contributed at least four hours of community service at a facility such as a nursing home, hospital, church, library or nonprofit organization.
CDG is proud to be making a positive difference in the lives of our community’s young people. Please help us provide more scholarships to other, equally deserving students for our 2024 Summer Scholarship Program by making a donation here.
