Career and Technical Education College Visit Day March 1

Spoon River College is hosting a Career and Technical Education College Visit Day on Tuesday, March 1, from 9:30-11 a.m. on the Canton Campus. It is open to high school students as well as non-traditional prospective students.

“We are excited to showcase some of our training programs which lead to high-skill, high-wages, and in-demand occupations,” said Brad O’Brien, dean of career and workforce education. “We expect these occupations to be among the drivers of an economic recovery.”

Programs to be featured include Agricultural Business Management, Commercial Driver Training, Computer Information Systems, Diesel and Power Systems Technology, Healthcare Career programs, Medical Laboratory Technician, Nursing, Rail Transportation and Power System Technology, and Welding.

Information about the application process, tuition, financial aid, and student life will also be presented. Attendees will also have the option to take a campus tour, including the Snapper Villas student housing, and will receive a free t-shirt.

This event is for people of all ages who are interested in learning about the career education programs at Spoon River College. High school students should inquire with their school about using a college visit day, and letters from the College confirming their attendance at the event will be provided to those students if needed.

Face coverings are required at Spoon River College for all students, staff, and visitors.

The Canton Campus is located at 23235 N County Hwy. 22.

Stan Cook “Give Hope” Scholarship Now Available

​The SRC Foundation and Spoon River College offer a wide variety of scholarships each year to students; scholarships may be for academic excellence, for talent or skill, or for a particular profession or degree. Many of the scholarships are named after individuals who wish to continue making a difference in the lives of others, such as the Stan Cook “Give Hope” scholarship, a new award now available.

The Stan Cook “Give Hope” Scholarship is for students currently enrolled in the Spring 2022 semester, actively working toward a degree or certificate, and who have completed a 2021-2022 FAFSA. Five awards of $1,000 each will be made. Deadline to file for this scholarship is February 11, 2022.

In addition, the general application for Spoon River College Foundation scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year is now available, and the deadline to file is March 15, 2022. All potential students are encouraged to apply, even if they aren’t sure they’ll be attending in the next academic year or have already received financial aid.

Performing skill grants are awarded each year to students showing special ability or talent in the areas of Art, Drama, Athletics, Agriculture, Speech and Debate. Students receiving these grants may use the awarded funds for tuition or books. Activity sponsors in each area have specific requirements and criteria that must be met.

Students interested in performing skill grants must complete all the necessary eligibility requirements for SRC/SRC Foundation Scholarships as outlined on the application form and contact the individual sponsor regarding additional eligibility requirements.

In order to apply for any scholarship, students must have filed a 2021-2022 FAFSA.

All applications, instructions, and requirements can be found at www.src.edu/scholarships.

Seeking Nominations for SRC Faculty Awards – Deadline February 25

​Every year Spoon River College honors three current faculty members (two full-time, one part-time) who have displayed excellence in the teaching profession by awarding them with the H. Truman Standard Award, and the Illinois Community College Trustees Association Outstanding Full-Time and Part-Time awards.

Any citizen of the college district, including current and former students, is encouraged to submit a nomination for the teacher they feel deserves special recognition. The nominations will then be used to select the recipients.

The nominations must be received by February 25, 2022, and any nominations received after the deadline will be applied to the following year’s nomination pool.

Faculty members may only be given the H. Truman Standard Award once in a seven-year period. Faculty who are not eligible this year are Laura Bandy, Dr. Andrew Kirk, Becky Leverette, Michael Maher, Beth Van Tine, and Krista Winters. However, these faculty may still be nominated and considered for the ICCTA Outstanding Faculty Award.

The names of eligible full-time faculty and the nomination form are available at https://www.src.edu/academics/Pages/faculty-awards.aspx or by clicking on the Faculty Award link located under the Academics tab at www.src.edu.

The awards will be presented during the college’s commencement, which is currently planned for May 12, 2022.
