| Lyons Community Foundation Scholarship Fund in Memory of Steve Ralston |
|
Steve Ralston was an active leader in the Lyons community with a passion for learning. In memory of Steve, a fund has been established through LCF for the purpose of providing a scholarship to a senior student enrolled at Lyons Senior High School. The student who receives this merit-based scholarship must demonstrate a range of interests, a passion for pursuit of learning, and exemplary knowledge of and commitment to the Lyons community. The scholarship funds may be used for any accredited post-secondary education program. The scholarship was awarded to Andrew Roberts in 2009, and Jenna Polsen in 2010. |
