DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS – The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club (DGJWC) is pleased to announce they awarded their 2021 DGJWC Scholarships to six local high schoolers. 

The seniors selected really stood out based on their academic merits, leadership qualities, diverse extracurricular involvements, and – most importantly – volunteerism and commitment to service both within and beyond their community.  All of these seniors’ philanthropic spirit aligns with what is at the core of the DGJWC’s mission: supporting others in need. 

DGJWC’s Education Committee Co-Chair, Allison McNulty said, "It was wonderful to review all the 69 amazing applications submitted for the Senior Scholarships 2021. The applications showed how much the students have given to our community speaking of their volunteer efforts, creating organizations and clubs within their schools as well as what their plans to give back in the future are.” McNulty continued, “There were so many deserving applicants and we thank everyone for their time and thoughtful submissions. Congratulations to our 2021 recipients, we were so proud of your accomplishments and wish you all the best!"

Samantha Figueroa, President of the DGJWC, said, "On behalf of the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club, we are so proud to support these outstanding high school seniors as they continue to pursue excellence and further their education.
