Thanks to you CNF Awards $24,000 in Scholarships in 2020

The month of May is our scholarship season, and the Carlin Nalley Foundation reached a high water mark by awarding $24,000 in scholarships to eight outstanding Lisle seniors. This is the largest total scholarship amount in our foundation's history, and it is only possible thanks to the generosity of you, the loyal alumni, who have committed to contribute annually to support this unique program. Thank you for being with us on our mission to recognize and encourage excellence among Lisle students and help them to pay for their educational expenses after graduation.
