Joyce Properties Awards Oakton Scholarships
Eight Oakton Community College students are the recipients of $10,400 in scholarships from Joyce Properties of Evanston for the 2004-05 academic year, according to the Oakton Community College Educational Foundation.
The 2004-05 recipients are all Evanston residents, four part-time students and four full-time students. Part-time recipients are awarded $1,100 for the year while full-time students receive $1,500.
Part-time students receiving scholarships include: sophomore Phoebe Bradford (management/supervision), freshman George Providence (liberal arts), freshman Tremell Richardson (automotive technology), and freshman Dwayne Smith (electronics technology). Full-time students earning scholarships include: sophomore Ernestina Franco (science/math), sophomore Sarah Hays (liberal arts), freshman Brian Northington (liberal arts), and sophomore Pamela Zachery (liberal arts).
Joyce Properties of Evanston established a scholarship fund in 2003 for minority students attending Oakton Community College either full time or part time. Gary and Pat Joyce, owners of the real estate management company, created the scholarship opportunity to express appreciation for their company's years of growth and success in the community. Each year, eight scholarships will be awarded, enabling eligible Evanston students to enroll at Oakton without undue financial constraints, while continuing to balance work and family responsibilities.
Established in 1988 with the purchase of two buildings in Evanston's Mayfair neighborhood, Joyce Properties now includes more than a dozen rental properties in Evanston. Joyce Properties continues to provide affordable and attractive housing to students, faculty and staff of Evanston area colleges and universities.
Oakton Community College offers degree and certificate curricula for students preparing to earn a bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university, as well as those preparing for employment in a variety of careers. Oakton is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association, Illinois Community College Board and American Association of Community Colleges.
