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.
2020 Scholarship Winners

"In high school I was eager to create an experience similar to that of my Oak Grove years. I wanted to feel connected and a part of something bigger than myself. I wanted to feel encouraged and supported by kindhearted people who knew me well. I was able to accomplish this because of the confidence Oak Grove gave me." - Maggie Hutchins “Oak Grove has been critical in shaping my personality. OGS taught me humility with courage, empathy with confidence, and the resilience to keep pushing through...” - Nathan John |
2020 Soaring Eagle Scholarship Recipients To say that 2020 has been an unusual year is an understatement, but the resiliency of our Oak Grove students and alumni continue to impress us. What spoke to us the most about Maggie and Nathan's essays were not the characteristics and skills taught in books, but the ones that can only be shaped by a culture cultivated to set up our students for well rounded success in any path they choose. The quotes shared to the left from their essays describe them better than we are able. They are part of a generation that will shape our future and we are proud these are the values they will use to guide their journeys.
