State Representative David Friess has expressed his admiration for the Illinois Sheriff’s Association (ISA) for its ongoing support of education through the continuation of the College Scholarship Program. Since its establishment in 1979, the ISA’s scholarship program has offered financial assistance to college-bound students, recognizing their exceptional academic achievements, involvement in extracurricular activities, and outstanding character.
Through the College Scholarship Program, the ISA provides scholarships ranging from $500 to $1000, demonstrating the association’s commitment to fostering academic excellence and character development among Illinois students. This program is a testament to the ISA’s sustained efforts to invest in the state's future by supporting the educational pursuits of promising young individuals.
One notable aspect of the scholarship program is its broad impact across various counties in Illinois. Each participating county, as part of the ISA membership program, contributes to the initiative by awarding at least one $500 scholarship every school year. This collaborative approach ensures that students from different regions of the state have access to educational opportunities, promoting a more equitable distribution of resources.
Speaking about the importance of the ISA’s dedication to education, Rep. Friess remarked, “I commend the Illinois Sheriff’s Association for its longstanding commitment to empowering the next generation through the College Scholarship Program. By investing in the academic and personal development of our students, the ISA is playing a crucial role in shaping the future of Illinois. This initiative not only supports deserving individuals but also reflects the association’s commitment to community welfare and the pursuit of excellence.”
The ISA’s College Scholarship Program is open to Illinois students attending higher learning institutions within the state. It provides a valuable resource for those who are seeking to further their education.

By providing financial support to college-bound students, the ISA is making a significant contribution to the development of young individuals in Illinois. Through this program, the association is not only investing in academic excellence but also promoting character development, ensuring a brighter future for the state.
