The City of Breese, in partnership with the Illinois Municipal Utilities Association (IMUA), is again offering a scholarship competition program for graduating high school seniors whose families reside in the City of Breese.

A total of four (4) finalists will be chosen by the IMUA Scholarship Committee. Each finalist will receive a finalist certificate and a $1,000 award from IMUA, and a matching award from the City of Breese if the finalist is a Breese resident to be used for college tuition. Winners will be announced sometime in April.
The deadline for submitting applications and essays is Friday, March 8, 2024. Applicants may contact IMUA’s DeeDee Bunch at dbunch@imea.org or (217) 789-4632 for more information.
