On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, 11 members of the Class of 2027 participated in the George Washington Gale Scholars induction ceremony held in the Little Theater at Galesburg Junior Senior High School.
The Gale Scholars program was established in 1996 and was named after the founder of Galesburg and Knox College. The program is a partnership between Knox College, Carl Sandburg College, and Galesburg CUSD #205.
Gale Scholars students take courses at Galesburg High School that are determined by college entrance requirements and must maintain a 2.5 minimum grade point average. Students are also required to participate in at least two school activities each school year. Summer programs and workshops are also a requirement for academic and leadership enrichment.
After successful completion of the program in high school, students receive tuition-waiver scholarships for the completion of associate and bachelor's degree programs at Carl Sandburg College and Knox College.
Congratulations to the Gale Scholars Class of 2027!
