Created in Loving Memory of

John Lowe

July 23, 1946 - June 7, 2004

The John Lowe Education Grant was created in loving memory of John Lowe. John was an educator himself, having a deep passion for children and education. The John Lowe Grant was established by Sangamon Schools Credit Union.

The John Lowe Education Grant
has been put into place to help make education brighter for everyone.

Grant winners are chosen quarterly
and each grant is worth up to, but not more than, $200.00. (If more than $200.00, the recipient is responsible for obtaining difference.)

Recipients of the John Lowe Education Grant and the respective school principal will receive notification via mail no later than the date specified on the application form.

Sangamon Schools Credit Union administration and staff will deliver the grant proceeds to the respective winners at their school. Along with the proceeds the SSCU will bring a special treat for the recipient to share. A photo of the Principal, Teacher, and Administrative Staff member will be taken.

Sangamon School Credit Union would like to request that pictures be taken of the project for which the grant money was used. The pictures will in no way be publicized, however they are needed for auditing purposes.

Grant applications can be retrieved from your school Ambassador or upon request from Sangamon Schools Credit Union.
