Soaring Eagle Scholarship

As support from our community has grown, so has the OGSEF’s ability to support our Oak Grove students as they move through elementary and junior high -- and even past high school.  The Soaring Eagle Scholarship was created in 2016 to support a deserving student in their post-secondary studies.  This $1000 scholarship is open to graduating Libertyville High School Seniors who are Oak Grove Alumni.
