2025 Volunteerism Scholarships

Volunteerism plays a critical role in the Lemont community and is the cornerstone of the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club. Our organization is composed of women in the community who are dedicated to raising funds and volunteering for the betterment of Lemont and the surrounding communities. To recognize the efforts of others who demonstrate a commitment to volunteerism, LJWC is awarding $2,000 one-time scholarships. Multiple scholarships will be awarded.

High school social or athletic involvement is not considered volunteer work for the purpose of this scholarship. The focus of the volunteer work should show integrity, leadership, responsibility, and commitment to community service in Lemont and the surrounding communities.
