Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Virtual Auditions for SRC Speech and Debate Team Performing Skill Grants
Scholarship auditions for the 2021-2022 Speech and Debate Team at Spoon River College will be held virtually this year during the week of March 22. While any interested student can join the team, auditions are required to be considered for a scholarship.
Dr. Andrew Kirk, communications teacher and club advisor, is reaching out to any high school seniors planning to enroll at Spoon River College next year who are interested in being part of the team.
“Students do not need to prepare any audition material, and they do not have to have any prior experience competing in speech and debate,” said Kirk. “The interview will be relatively short, around 10-20 minutes, and any questions students have about participating can be addressed at that time.”
Kirk is asking those interested to schedule a Zoom interview during the week of March 22 by calling him at 309-649-6263 or emailing andrew.kirk@src.edu.
Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Free Virtual College Fair February 16 and 17
Spoon River College is joining more than 200 other colleges and universities for a free Virtual College Fair February 15 and 16.
The virtual fair will consist of multiple 45 minute sessions featuring six institutions at a time. Each institution will present for a total of six minutes and will then be available to answer questions throughout the entire 45 minute timespan. Spoon River College will present on February 16 at 5 p.m.
“This is the pandemic version of our College Night event, and it’s an excellent opportunity to explore a variety of colleges and get your questions answered,” said Eve Zimmerman, dual credit coordinator. “Some of the information participants might want to ask about includes admissions requirements, programs of study, tuition costs, room and board, athletics, and student activities.”
Those interested in attending can view all of the participating colleges and register for free online at www.strivescan.com/Illinois/, and even those who can’t be present for the Zoom meeting are encouraged to register for at least one of the sessions. “As long as they register, the information materials from the session of their choice will be sent to them,” Zimmerman said. “We do encourage those who can to be present as it’s a great time to ask questions and get immediate feedback.”
The event is open to anyone interested in learning about college options, not just current students.
The Virtual College Fair is being hosted by Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC) with StriveScan 6×6 Virtual Fairs.
For more information about the Virtual College Fair, call Eve Zimmerman at (309) 649-6221 or email eve.zimmerman@src.edu. Visit www.src.edu to learn more about the programs of study offered by Spoon River College.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Financial Aid Staff Hosting Virtual FAFSA Completion Event February 16 for Canton HS
Financial aid staff at Spoon River College is hosting a remote/virtual FAFSA Completion for Canton High School seniors and parents on Tuesday, February 16. Google Meet sessions will be available at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. Students should contact Lisa Nesbitt at Canton High School at 309-647-1820 to sign up for the session of their choice.
“We’ll provide information on applying for federal and state grants, scholarships, and student loans,” said Jo Branson, director of financial aid at Spoon River College. “Those wanting to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will need their 2019 income information.”
“We recommend that students and their parents create the required FSA ID a week prior to the February 16 event,” Branson said. “This can be done at www.studentaid.gov.”
Financial aid staff will also be available to answer calls by phone at 309-649-7030 on February 16 from 4−7 p.m.
Filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) now completes a graduation requirement.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on February Recognized as Financial Aid Awareness Month
February is recognized as Financial Aid Awareness Month, and financial aid staff at Spoon River College will be helping to spread awareness about the aid process, including how to apply for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and SRC Foundation scholarships.
“We want students and their parents to fully understand how a financial aid package is determined,” said Jo Branson, director of financial aid at Spoon River College. “We’ll be working to dispel some of the myths that surround financial aid, as well as information about filing a FAFSA, which now completes a high school graduation requirement.”
During February 8 – February 12, Branson and members of her staff will host table events at Spoon River College campuses and centers. Students will be able to stop by and grab a snack, ask questions, and pick up financial aid information, including applications for SRC Foundation scholarships.
“Financial aid has to start with filling out the FAFSA application, because in addition to applying for federal funds, you’re also automatically applying for state funds like MAP (Monetary Awards Program). Filing a FAFSA is also the first step in applying for SRC Foundation scholarships.”
Branson said many students and their parents believe that there is an income cut-off (there’s not) or that students must wait until they are accepted to a college before filing the FAFSA application (they should not).
“How much income parents make is just one factor that can determine a student’s eligibility for federal grants, loans, or work study funds,” Branson said. “As far as when to apply for FAFSA, the answer is always sooner rather than later. Seniors can begin the process even before they graduate high school, and they are allowed to list more than one college if they haven’t made their final decision yet.”
There is also confusion over whether a student is independent or needs to use their parents’ income. “That question is not always as obvious as one might think. The FAFSA form asks a series of questions that will determine dependency status,” said Branson.
Table events are scheduled for Monday, February 8 and Thursday, February 11 in the second floor hallway in Macomb, and on Tuesday, February 9 and Wednesday, February 10 in the Snapper Café in Canton.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Snappers Softball Season Preview
Head Softball Coach John Basset at Spoon River College is looking forward to a great 2021 spring season for the Snapper softball team. “We finished the Covid-19 shortened 2020 spring season on a 13-game winning streak and a 17-3 overall record.”
The Snappers will be led by ten returning sophomores. Noelle Hobbs (Washington, IL) finished last season batting .534 with an incredible 1.509 slugging percentage. Giulia Cianfriglia (Verona, Italy) hit 7 home runs in the shortened season and also had a robust 1.380 slugging percentage. Rayna Davis (Humble, TX), Jayden Montana (Regina, SK, Canada), Kira Brown (Springfield, IL), Addy Williams (Cuba, IL), Daisy Bejarano (Baytown, TX), and Paige Collopy (Knoxville, IL) all hit over .400 last year.
The Snappers bring in three freshmen pitchers to work alongside sophomore Miranda Fogal (Monticello, IL). Makayla Ellison (Marquette Heights, IL), Sydney Owens (Orleans, IN), and lefty Lauren Smith (Channahon, IL) will all be looked on to contribute immediately.
“Miranda has made tremendous strides since last season, and a big part of that was us coaches adjusting to maximize what she does well. I’m really looking forward to seeing how high her ceiling will be,” said Coach John Bassett
Rounding out this year’s roster is sophomore Miranda Alvarez (Peoria, IL) and freshmen Grace Stufflebeam (Macomb, IL), Allison Mortland (Canton, IL), Sloan Miller (Cuba, IL), Mackenzie Stiewe, (Waterford, WI), and De’Asisa Davenport (Wharton, TX).
“We have a tremendously talented team. I have high expectations for our freshmen pitchers, and we have a really strong offensive and defensive unit returning from last year. Now we get to add a lot of speed with Mortland, defensive prowess with Davenport, strong hitting with Stiewe, and lots of athleticism with Stufflebeam, Miller, and Alvarez,” said Bassett.
“Last year’s team was unique and special. They played for each other and you could feel the competitiveness and passion every day. I feel our team this year is even more talented than last year. I can’t wait to get to work to find out if this year’s group has that same competitive drive that we enjoyed last season. If they do, then this could be a really special team.”
The first game is February 6 at the Iowa Dome Tournament. The complete schedule can be viewed at www.src.edu under the Snappers Athletic tab. Follow the Spoon River College Athletics Facebook page for the most up-to-date information and to watch live streams of games when available.
Spoon River College is a two-year, public community college in West Central Illinois, with campuses and Community Outreach Centers in Canton and Macomb, and Learning Centers in Havana and Rushville.
