The scholarship was established in recognition of her outstanding contributions to education and to the college. Recipients are selected from in-district high schools.
Selection is based on scholastic achievement, leadership and citizenship characteristics.
The Gustafson Scholarship covers the full cost of tuition for 64 semester hours or two academic years, whichever is achieved first. Activity and service fees are also covered, however lab fees and textbooks are not. The student nominee must be nominated by the high school counseling department and endorsed by the high school principal. The nominee must be a high school senior who attends a Waubonsee Community College in-district school or is a district resident. The scholarship recipient may enroll during the summer semester, less than full-time or not at all, if desired.
