The Steven Wayne Chidester Scholarship is awarded to one cross country runner from our team each year. This scholarship is funded through an event in Maple Park, each September, on the same weekend that we host the Eddington Invitational. Steve was a teammate of Coach Clarey's, and a runner on the '87 and '88 teams that placed at State. Steve's passing came suddenly in May of 2016, while working on the roads for Kane County. Chidester was struck by a distracted driver. The link above takes you, seniors, to a page where there are questions for reflection. Steve's wife, Lorraine, reviews the responses and makes a choice parallel with what she feels mirrors the many wonderful qualities of her late husband. Please complete this scholarship questionnaire by May 15.
Additionally, there is also a scholarship available from our Kaneland Knights Sports Booster Club. At this time, they are still taking applications. Use this link to access the application to earn a $1,000 Scholarship. They have extended the deadline to May 8th, 2020 and you can email the application directly to Kira Harper @ kira.rushing@gmail.
Hoping this post finds all of you doing well, staying active, and getting ready for summer. Please be timely on these scholarship opportunities. Don't let them go to waste. Schooling at the junior college, 4-year schools, and trade schools is expensive. Explain how your past 4 years will impact the next four years of your life.
