Kendall County Republican Party Scholarships

Each year, the Kendall County Republican Party, Kendall County Republican Women, and the Kendall County Republican Club award scholarships to graduating seniors who call Kendall County home and are preparing to take the next step into higher education or workforce training.

These scholarships are awarded based not only on academic performance, but also on moral character, work ethic, community involvement, school participation, employment history, church and volunteer activities, and demonstrated financial need. Applicants must be residents of Kendall County to be considered. 

Two scholarship opportunities are available:

  • Academic Scholarship for students pursuing a college or university degree

  • Vocational Scholarship for students pursuing trade school, certification programs, or workforce training
