In 2008, ISAC awarded 5 $5,000 scholarships, and one $7,500 scholarship.

The scholarships go to high school seniors who are the children of county officials and county employees.

ISAC has had a scholarship program for about 11 years.

In addition, in 2008 ISAC also award a $3,000 Past President's Scholarship. 

ISAC's ICIT technology affiliate also awarded a $2,000 scholarship in 2008 to a high school senior interested in studying technology in college.

All of the scholarship winners are recognized at a ceremony that takes place every year as part of the business meeting at the SAC Spring School. 
 

The ISAC Scholarship rules require that there be 7 scholarship judges, one from each ISAC district and one from the ISAC Board, chosen based on gender and affiliate.

 

Here are the ISAC Scholarship judges for 2008:

 

Dist 1 – Dave Morlan, Boone County Emergency Management Director

Dist 2 – Liz Kenison, Worth County Recorder

Dist 3 – Mike Van Otterloo*, Plymouth County Sheriff

Dist 4 – Judy Crain*, Fremont County Treasurer

Dist 5 – Julie Ohde, Louisa County Conservation Director

Dist 6 – Rod Sullivan*, Johnson County Supervisor

ISAC Board – Paul Goldsmith*, Lucas County Attorney

The ISAC Scholarship applications are distributed and posted on the ISAC website in August, and then a copy appears in the ISAC magazine in October.  Applications are always due in mid-December.

 

We usually get between 90 and 100 applications.

 

Money to fund the scholarships comes mostly from the ISAC golf tournament, which in 2008 will be held on June 11.
