Description

Jerome Burke was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a nephew, but never a father. Even though he did not have children of his own, he loved, mentored, and provided for so many children. In honor of him, the Jerome Burke Foundation was established to encourage and support higher education among young African American men. The Jerome Burke Foundation Scholarship will be awarded to young high school students who will attend accredited colleges, universities, or trade schools. Applicants must be a senior attending an Illinois school by the scholarship application deadline. They must have completed 10 hours of community service or agree to complete 10 hours of community service. They must also be able to attend the Annual Gala on Second Saturday in December.
