Rush County Schools

Each year, many college-bound students from Rush County are recipients of scholarships from the Ora T. Lower and Dessie H. Lower Memorial Scholarship Fund as well as the William S. Coleman and Lillian R. Coleman Memorial Scholarship Fund. Mr. and Mrs. Lower were prominent members of the farming community and distinguished leaders of Homer. Dr. and Mrs. Coleman were distinguished community leaders in Carthage and Rush County. The separate Lower and Coleman wills provided significant funds for the education of Rush County Youth.

Since the first awards were made for the 1968-1969 school year, scholarships totaling over $6,792,318 have been awarded to Rush County students seeking higher education. In accordance with the intent established in the wills, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. administers both scholarship funds, with local persons serving on the selection committees. The Scholarship Committees meet annually to review all the applications received before April 1. Scholarships are then distributed on or before December 31 each year.

Any students of Rush County who are pursuing higher education and training beyond high school are eligible to apply. Scholarships are available only to undergraduates. All students, including former recipients, must reapply each year for consideration.
