Give the Gift of Higher Education!
This Spring, the Des Plaines History Center is awarding a $1,000 Higher Education Scholarship
to a deserving local High School student.
100% of the money raised through our Scholarship Fund Campaign will go toward funding that scholarship.
Every gift makes a significant difference in the life of a student. According to the Education Data Initiative, the average in-state student attending a public, 4-year institution and living on-campus spends $27,146 for a single academic year.
Thank you! We appreciate your generous support of this campaign.
in 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Des Plaines History Center was proud to help sponsor two Maine West students,
Aaron Nisius (left) and Odom Mom for their trip to Washington D.C., to compete in National History Day.
