Lisa Dugan

Lisa Dugan started giving out community service scholarships about ten years ago when she becamethe Illinois State Representative fot 79th District. At that time she awarded scholarships our of her salary to high school seniors to help them continue with their education. When she retired from the General Assembly in 2013 she wanted to continue to give back and help others reach their educational goals. That is why she established the Lisa Dugan Community Service Scholarship at KCC. 

"I strongly belive that giving back and helping others is that foundations that will help individuals succeed, which in turn will build a stronger communities. I chose to have this scholarship awarded to GED graduates because I believe GED a graduate exemplifies a special strength. It is strength that allows them to go forward and persevere against pretty big odds and that is a major step towards success"
