Lisle Alumni,
As I reflect on 2024, I am very grateful to all of you who have joined the mission of the Carlin Nalley Foundation over the past two decades. Through your partnership with CNF, we provided nine $4,500 life-changing scholarships to Lisle High School Seniors this past spring. CNF has now awarded nearly 100 scholarships to the benefit of Lisle Families’ lives.  Thank you so much for being part of this rewarding cause.
 
Your donations are supporting the students in our hometown, delivering a direct impact on their futures. You don’t have to take my word for it. I have selected a couple of our scholarship recipients’ replies to you.
 
“The scholarship from The Beverly Fiore Dramatic Arts Award will help to relieve the financial worries that come with attending college. The University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign has a great program for environmental sciences.  I was very interested in attending the school and now I can. This award will lessen the worry about the cost of the program. I am extremely grateful for the amount that has been awarded to me. Thank you, Lisle Alumni!”  ---Anika Mutum, 2024 Fiore Award winner
 
“I’m very grateful for receiving the Ralph King Vocational and Career Education Award, and being able to go to school full time, without having to worry about working full time during the school year. The award will help fund my tuition, books, and extra will go towards the tools I need for the automotive classes. I would like to thank the Lisle Alumni for giving me this opportunity.  I hope that I can be a good example for other future scholarship awardees.”  ---Jackson Cates, 2024 King Award winner
 
“I would like to thank all of the contributors to the Ron Logeman Educational Leadership Award and scholarship. I am very grateful for this opportunity and will not let it go to waste. As a first generation American, I am the first student in my family to go to college and this scholarship provides the aid me and my family need. This was an amazing opportunity, and I cannot thank you enough.”
---Guadalupe Martinez, 2024 Logeman Award

Meet Kayleigh Hrabrich, the 2023 Fiore Scholarship — Beverly Fiore Award for Outstanding Thespian recipient. Your monthly support creates opportunities for students like her.
Kayleigh shared:
“I was through the roof when I heard my name called for the Beverly Fiore Scholarship. I am deeply honored to have been chosen for the drama scholarship under the mother of the Lisle Thespian Troupe herself: Ms. Beverly Fiore. I first want to personally thank her for her eminent contribution to theatre at LHS. She is highly respected by our current Thespian Troupe and we hope to make her proud. I want to immensely thank the Carlin Nalley Foundation for giving me this opportunity to pay for my college expenses and continue my education. This scholarship means so much to me and I will put it to good use by studying theatre as well. Thank you so much!”
