Overview

William, Agnes, and Elizabeth Burgess (Osborne) Memorial Scholarship

Status: Active

Geographic Scope: Mattoon High School, Illinois

Focus Areas: All fields of study

Overview: The William, Agnes, and Elizabeth Burgess (Osborne) Memorial Scholarship is made possible by the generous gift of farm ground from Elizabeth (Burgess) Osborne and her parents, William and Agnes Burgess. This scholarship supports current seniors and graduates of Mattoon High School in Mattoon, Illinois.

Eligibility:

Current seniors and graduates of Mattoon High School

Background: Originally managed by First-Mid Bank & Trust. In 2020, due to distribution requirements for charitable trusts and recent increases in farmland values, the Burgess/Osborne charitable trust was dissolved and its assets were transferred to Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. As a publicly supported charity, the Community Foundation ensures a perpetual source of scholarships for Mattoon High School graduates.
