Scholarship recipient Brock Miller delivers a keynote speech at Rend Lake College's 33rd Annual Foundation Scholarship Reception. The event celebrates the transformative power of scholarships on education and the future.

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.
