CRYSTAL LAKE – Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois has awarded McHenry County College $1,000 in scholarship funds that are targeted to assist persons with barriers to advance their education.  Funds were raised from the Goodwill Diva Dress Sale and Fashion Show last March.

"This scholarship program is a perfect match for Goodwill’s mission of assisting persons with barriers to achieve the dignity of work through advanced education at McHenry County College,” said Sam Schmitz, president of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois. 

“For many years, Goodwill Industries has been doing great work to support people who may be experiencing barriers in trying to continue their education,” said Bill Brennan, executive director of the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation. “By setting up this scholarship fund, it’s just another great example of how Goodwill Industries helps support communities and enrich peoples’ lives.”
