Kendall County Sheriff's Association Awards Scholarships

Students from Oswego, Yorkville, Plano will receive college funding.

The Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday announced its 2014 scholarship winners.

Local students who will receive $1,000 scholarships are:

  • Oswego High School graduate Alexis Whitehorn, who will attend University of Illinois
  • Yorkville High School graduate Theresa Eberhardt, who will attend Waubonsee Community College
  • Plano High School graduate Mara Makasiar (who won the association's logo design contest), who will attend the University of Notre Dame.

The scholarships are awarded to outstanding students who meet guidelines set by the association.

This year, the association decided to redesign its logo, and sponsored a contest that drew entries from seniors at Kendall County high schools.

Twelve logos were submitted for review, and Makasiar's was chosen as the winner.
