Meet Chelsi
"Being a recipient of the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation's Adult Scholarship gave me the opportunity to prioritize my education. The scholarship removed financial burdens and allowed me to focus on completing my studies. Because of this, I was able to graduate with a 3.9 GPA, high honors, and retained enrollment in elite academic honor societies.
