Making A Difference
Your support of the Rockne Athletic Banquet will enable the Notre Dame Club of Chicago and Notre Dame Club of Chicago Scholarship Foundation to provide scholarships to current Notre Dame scholars from the greater Chicago region with demonstrated financial need. Through these 4 or 5-year grants, the Notre Dame Club of Chicago Scholarship Foundation currently provides needed financial assistance to over 70 scholars.
In their own words, here is what some of these scholars, including 2011 Rockne ND Club of Chicago Scholarship Student Speaker, Jillian Mungovan ’12, have to say about the support provided by the Scholarship Foundation:
“Without my scholarship from the Club, my ND education may not have become a reality. I am so grateful that the Chicago ND Club helped me obtain my Notre Dame experience: the service opportunities, study abroad experiences, religious atmosphere, and tradition.” Alison Laycock ‘10
“The Club’s help has been invaluable in allowing me to attend Our Lady’s University. My incredible ND experience has been about the community just as much as it has been about the academics. Without your help, none of this could have been possible.” Theresa Yerkes ‘11
