Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on SRC, Foundation Launch “Finish What You Start” Scholarship
The benefits to completing an associate degree are numerous and well-documented. That’s why Spoon River College is partnering with the SRC Foundation to help get people across the finish line with a new scholarship opportunity, available during the Fall 2022, Spring 2023, and Summer 2023 semesters only.
Anyone who is nine or fewer credit hours from completing their associate degree and did not take courses in the Spring 2022 or Summer 2022 semesters may qualify for the new “Finish What You Start” Scholarship during the 2022-23 academic year for courses necessary to completing their degree. Through this new opportunity, the SRC Foundation will pay two-thirds of the tuition and all fees. The student will be responsible for paying one-third of the tuition and paying for books or materials.
“Through our research, we realized there are potentially hundreds of students in our district who only needed a handful of credits to finish their degrees,” said Brandi Ketcham, SRC Advisor, whose idea got the initiative rolling. “It’s our hope that this will inspire them to return to SRC to finish what they started.”
Data has shown that an associate degree can be used to obtain a higher salary or a better job. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals with an associate degree are more likely to find employment than those with some college coursework but no degree. On average, those with an associate degree earned $244 more per month in 2020 than those with some college coursework but no degree.
“In this increasingly-competitive workforce, there has never been a better time to have a college degree,” said Missy Wilkinson, SRC Dean of Student Services. “Earning your degree matters, and this scholarship opportunity will give that opportunity to students who might not have been able to afford to make the decision to re-enroll.”
The Finish What You Start Scholarship is entirely privately funded by donations to the SRC Foundation, which is responsible for the scholarship’s administration. The scholarship application will be available on a rolling basis, and scholarships will be available until funds are expended.
“While I’m grateful to SRC’s Student Services Department for their foresight in developing this idea and to our Board of Directors for supporting the scholarship, our biggest debt of gratitude is to our donors,” said Colin Davis, Executive Director of the SRC Foundation. “It’s their generosity that gives us the ability to launch new initiatives like this and to provide excellent educational opportunities at Spoon River College.”
Preference will be given to students with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or greater, and students must be degree-seeking. Anyone who believes they may be eligible should contact an SRC advisor as soon as possible to see if they meet the qualifications and to set up a degree plan. Advisors will help you enroll in the appropriate coursework and complete the necessary steps to be eligible for the Finish What You Start Scholarship.
“Student success is our number one goal at Spoon River College and our faculty and staff are dedicated to helping students succeed,” said Curt Oldfield, President of SRC. “We hope that the Finish What You Start Scholarship will help motivate those who are already so close to the finish line to make the last push to earn their associate degree.”

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on SRC Foundation Golf Outing To Be Held July 29
The 29th annual golf outing to benefit the Spoon River College Foundation will be held on Friday, July 29 at Wee-Ma-Tuk Hills Country Club in rural Cuba. After lunch at 11 a.m., a shotgun start is set for noon.
“As things begin to feel more normal, we can’t help but be excited for this event,” said SRC Foundation Director Colin Davis. “Every dollar raised by the SRC Foundation is a dollar that can literally change a local student’s life and give young people in our area a chance to succeed.”
The golf outing committee is currently seeking individual and business sponsors, as well as golf teams to join in the festivities. Sponsorship levels start at $100 and go up to $1,000. Depending on the level, sponsors may receive free entry for one or more golfers, publicity for their business in event materials, onsite promotion of their business or organization at the event, and mention in local media.
Cost is $75 per golfer or $300 for a team of four, and best-ball/scramble format will be followed. The fee includes lunch, golf, cart, an SRC-themed gift, and the chance to compete to be the outing’s top team, as well as the opportunity to win prizes throughout the day on every hole.
“We know that our sponsors appreciate the benefits of sponsoring our outing and, in many cases, just believe in what we do and want to help our students,” said Davis. We’re in a unique position to partner together to help local students achieve their goals, and we’re very grateful for any business, individual, or organization that considers supporting us. For the golfers, it’s a fun day for a great cause.”
Team entry forms and sponsorship commitment forms are available by calling the SRC Foundation at (309) 649-6260 or by emailing colin.davis@src.edu. Sponsors and players can also sign up on the Foundation’s website at https://www.src.edu/foundation/Pages/golf.aspx.
Though the event began in 1994, the SRC Foundation Golf Outing has raised more than $300,000 for the Foundation since 2000 alone. Over the years, the SRC Foundation Golf Outing has helped to provide hardship grants, scholarships, facilities upgrades, support to extracurricular programs, and much more.
“We continue to receive hardship requests on a weekly basis, including a recent application from a student facing eviction,” said Davis. “Our food and supply pantries serve dozens of students regularly who aren’t sure where their next meal might come from. The current economic times hit community college students particularly hard. You can imagine the stress that comes from potentially having to decide whether to stay in school or to eat full rations or pay rent. Local support of the 29th annual SRC Foundation Golf Outing helps to solve these issues. We want to help more SRC students in more ways, but we can’t without your support.”
The mission of the SRC Foundation is to provide excellent educational opportunities at Spoon River College. The Foundation golf outing is the largest annual fundraising event for the SRC Foundation and is typically one of the best-attended outings of the summer.
“The SRC Foundation golf outing is always a great event,” said Davis. “It gives our donors a chance to have fun, network, and promote their businesses, all while helping local students, and we intend to make this year’s event another great day for our generous friends of the college.”
