Mulligan Announces Scholarship Winners

June 11, 2001

State Representative Rosemary Mulligan (R-Des Plaines) is pleased to announce the winners of the Illinois General Assembly Scholarship Program. Eight qualifying college-level students from the 55th District were selected for a one-year full tuition scholarship at selected Illinois universities.

"Affording college tuition these days is difficult both for parents and students," said Mulligan. "With this scholarship, and other opportunities available, students can receive the quality education they deserve."

Rep. Mulligan congratulated the 55th District students that were selected for the Illinois General Assembly Scholarship: Karen Czarnecki of Des Plaines, Menali Doshi of Park Ridge, Erika Garcia of Des Plaines, Amy Czarnecki of Des Plaines, Brigid Matchen of Park Ridge, Marissa Racette of Des Plaines, Raoul Gravel of Des Plaines and Christopher Ciaston of Park Ridge.

The scholarship can be applied for the students at several State schools, including the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Springfield or Chicago, Chicago State University, Northern Illinois University, Illinois State University and Eastern Illinois University, among others.

"It was very difficult for the Scholarship Advisory Committee and myself to choose only a few out of the many outstanding applications we received," added Mulligan. "A special thanks to all students that applied and congratulations to the winners, I wish you all continued success."
