Dear Lisle Alumni,
We cannot thank your enough for your exceptional loyalty to the outstanding young people of Lisle High School. Despite the challenges (including this persistent pandemic), your generous Partners for Excellence contributions to our scholarship program in 2020 are supporting a new group of deserving and grateful Lisle Class of 2021 graduates as they pursue their educational goals.
In May of this year, the Carlin Nalley Foundation provided on behalf of you, the Lisle Alumni, a record $28,000 in scholarships, an increase from $24,000 in 2020. This success was only possible with your donations during our fall fundraising effort. Each of the eight students accepted a $3,500 award for his or her achievements in fields of academics, athletics, arts, and service. These awards are all named for legendary Lisle High School faculty and graduates who have left a distinctly positive mark on generations of classes at our school.
I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to hear about the honor and significance of these awards to these promising young people them as they seek to achieve their life goals---so I invite you to read the statements of the most recent (and previous year’s) winners at CNF Scholarship Winners and be inspired by the gratitude and aspirations of these newest Lisle Alumni. Here are two moving examples:
“As a third generation Lisle Senior High School graduate it is an honor to be awarded this legacy award. It is special to graduate from the same high school as my grandmother, grandfather, uncles, and mom. This award will go to good use supporting me and I cannot thank the supporters of this scholarship program enough.” ---Jacob Anderson, 2021 Grutzmacher Family Alumni Legacy Award Winner, attending Florida Institute of Technology, majoring in Aviation.
“Music has been such an important part of my life since I was very young and the recognition and acknowledgement of my passion and hard work by the alumni was so meaningful to me…I will be forever grateful for the opportunities and experiences Lisle High School provided to me during my time here.” ---Christian Schoell, 2021 Steve Green Musical Achievement Award Winner, attending Wartburg College, majoring in Economics and Music.
You can be so proud that we have encouraged these aspiring new Lisle Alumni with our recognition and financial support.
If you choose to contribute to any charitable causes in 2021, please consider supporting The Carlin Nalley Foundation at by clicking the Donate Button below and the terrific Lisle High students that receive our scholarships. We keep our costs very low so that nearly 100% of your contributions go directly to the students winning the awards. We are a 501(c)-3 nonprofit organization, and your donation may be tax deductible. Our all-volunteer alumni board embraces a mission to give back to our wonderful school and we hope you will choose to do so as well.

The Carlin Nalley Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) charity, and any contributions you make are tax deductible our EIN Federal Tax ID # (26-1987884).
