INA, Ill. (May 8, 2026) — The Rend Lake College Foundation hosted its 35th Annual Scholarship Dinner on February 26 at the RLC Event Center where scholarship recipients and generous donors gathered to meet – some for the very first time. Each year, hundreds of scholarships are awarded to deserving RLC students.

The reception presented a unique occasion for scholarship recipients to engage with their donors and scholarship representatives, providing them an opportunity to express their gratitude and to communicate their educational and career goals. The event was equally valuable for donors, as it allowed them to gain insights into the impact of their contributions and observe firsthand the positive effect of their generosity on the lives of students.
