Thank you for your interest in applying for a $500 Lorene
Maher and Carol Bowen Scholarship, provided by the Illinois
Rural Letter Carriers’ Association. Please complete the application
below and send to the address listed below no later than June
15 of the new membership year.
A drawing will be held to pull 2 names for scholarships and
2 alternates (in the event that a recipient cannot attend
for any reason) at the annual state convention each year.
Any applicant whose parents/grandparents/guardians or self
have been active in the ILRLCA will have their name placed
in the drawing 3 times, versus 1 time for inactive members.
(Active means attending meetings, being involved locally,
at state and national meetings as determined by the Committee
Chairman.)
RETURN THIS FORM BY THE JUNE 15 DEADLINE TO:
Marvin and Nancy Hartz, Chairmen
5624 Backbone Road, Tampico IL 61283-9131
Questions: Please call Chairman at (815) 542-6474
Each scholarship prize will be in the form of a check made
payable to the accredited postsecondary institution of higher
education or vocational school attended by the scholarship
prize recipient (once the scholarship prize recipient has
enrolled in an accredited postsecondary institution of higher
education or vocational school and submitted proof of enrollment
to the chairman). The scholarship prize recipients must submit
proof of enrollment on or before Dec. 31, of the year for
which the award is granted.
Lorene Maher and Carol Bowen are two outstanding women who
have served in nearly every office of the past Illinois Rural
Letter Carriers’ Auxiliary assisting spouses and their children
in order to support the Association in every way possible.
Both have served as National Officers, Lorene through the
ranks to President and Carol as Secretary. As the Auxiliary
and Juniors closed its doors as an official organization in
2009, this scholarship was set up by the Association to honor
all that these two women had accomplished on behalf of rural
carrier families across the great state of Illinois and this
nation and in gratitude for the many dedicated years of service
by spouses and children or our families. Mrs. Maher and Mrs.
Bowen will draw the names at a lottery drawing at the state
convention banquet until they are no longer able to attend,
at which time a spouse of a rural carrier will be asked to
do this honor for them.
Thank you again for your interest and good luck for the future!
