CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Oswego resident Danielle Dalo (5470 Half Round Road), a graduate of Waubansee Community College, has received a $1,000 scholarship through the Southern Illinois University Carbondale Illinois Community College Scholarship Program.
Created by SIUC Chancellor Walter V. Wendler in 2004 to enhance the relationship between SIUC and the state's two-year colleges, the program aims to reward these institutions' academic stars. Scholarship recipients must have at least a 3.5 grade-point average on a 4-point scale. Colleges may nominate as many as five candidates in ranked order. Scholarships, renewable for a second year, go to the top two.
During her college years, Dalo served as editor-in-chief of the campus paper for two years, as president of the college's Womyn 4 Womyn Club and belonged to Phi Theta Kappa. At SIUC, she plans to major in journalism
Dalo is the daughter of Salvatore and Valerie Dalo.
Strengthening the undergraduate scholarship program is among the goals of Southern at 150: Building Excellence Through Commitment, the blueprint for the development of the University by the time it celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2019.
