The Dudek family, LKCS owners, recently created a graphic arts scholarship at Illinois Valley Community College with a $25,000 donation to the IVCC Foundation.

Beginning next fall, the Norbert J. Dudek Family Graphic Arts Scholarship will provide a $1,000 scholarship each year to a second-year graphic design technology student. Financial need and the student’s artistic ability will be considered in the selection.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for students in our program to receive a significant award for their work,” said Francie Skoflanc, graphic design technology program coordinator. “When a business as big as LKCS recognizes our students, it lends even more credibility to our program.”

LKCS has supported the IVCC graphic arts program since its inception in 2000 by donating equipment and having the firm’s staff teach classes and serve on its advisory committee.
