On May 25, the Morton 201 Foundation hosted its Scholarship Recipient Luncheon at the Morton West Freshman Academy for its 2023 Pay It Forward Scholarship recipients and their families, as well as the donors and corporate sponsors who made their scholarships possible.
Thanks to the generous and continued support of our donors and corporate sponsors, this year the Morton 201 Foundation awarded ELEVEN $2,000 scholarships, 5 at each campus plus a new Culinary scholarship between both campuses.
Since 2019, the Morton 201 Foundation has awarded 43 scholarships totaling $72,000.
The guest speaker for the luncheon was Daisy Patino, one of our first 2019 Pay It Forward Scholarship Recipients.
