The Ogle-Lee RTA Scholarship is a cash scholarship for a college junior or senior working on a degree in education. Every time the Scholarship Fund has grown to a minimum amount of the current scholarship value, another education scholarship will be offered. The scholarship and criteria will be announced via local media, at Ogle-Lee RTA membership meetings, on Facebook, and on the Ogle-Lee RTA website. The Scholarship Committee is chaired by Phil Bratta. Members are encouraged to donate to the Scholarship fund and are reminded that donations are welcomed in honor or memory of retired teachers. Contact Treasurer Linda Kenney to make a donation. Checks can be mailed to Linda Kenney, P.O. Box 314, Rochelle, IL 61068.
