Scholarship Night
At right: One of our many “classes” of Scholarship Recipients

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.
