We welcome everyone who is interested in promoting education in Jacksonville and promoting economic growth of our community! About the JACKSONVILLE PROMISE: The Jacksonville Promise just awarded 58 scholarships this fall of up to $14,400 over the next 8 semesters. This is our 11th year of offering scholarships and we have now given a total of 400 scholarships. As our funding has grown, we have expanded our benefits—more semesters, more money, more geographic area of coverage. This has created an economic engine for Jacksonville that expands the economy, and each year adds many tens of thousands of dollars to the coffers of the City of Jacksonville , Morgan County & all of the towns in Morgan County. It strengthens our schools and helps our students' budgets. This year the number of students in upper classes is stressing our scholarship awards, and we expect to run a deficit of about $100,000. Feel free to help us close this gap with a donation to our general fund, or a donation as a sponsor for our Evening of Promise! The Jacksonville Promise is a place-based scholarship available to any public, private or home school graduates that attended school in the geographic boundaries of Jacksonville, Franklin, Meredosia-Chambersburg, Triopia, and Waverly school districts. They must have graduated within the last six years and are now starting college to be eligible for this place-based scholarship. Public, private and home-schooled students are eligible. Students must plan to attend Illinois College or Lincoln Land Community College in Jacksonville. Two colleges are available for higher education in Jacksonville: Illinois College and Lincoln Land Community College.
