The Bob Pratt Skills, Trades & Technology scholarship
Dr. Robert (Bob) Elliot Pratt, Professor Emeritus, passed away on January 24, 2020. However, his memory and many good deeds live on, with a scholarship created in his honor.
This scholarship is only open to Cook County residents and is aimed at folks who want to gain a new skill or certification to help them get a job or advance in a career.
The scholarships are for any skill or training that takes less than two years to achieve.
Because the scholarships are not tied to an academic schedule, applications will be reviewed every two months.
Some examples of training these funds could be applied to are truck driver licenses, forklift certification, real estate, or training to become a barber, etc.
