2020 Revie Sorey Trunk Scholarships

Our students have prevailed and will be starting their college journey!Help us prepare our high school graduates for college by providing them

with the distance learning tools they need to remain safe and academically connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TRUNK SCHOLARSHIPS

Our Annual Revie Sorey Trunk Scholarships are an important extension of our acclaimed College Preparation & Placement Program that has placed more than 70,000 youth in more than 400 colleges and universities throughout the United States. Named in honor of former Ada S. McKinley division director and Chicago Bear Revie Sorey who started the program over a decade ago, the Trunk Scholarships provide our college-bound honorees with the living and learning essentials first-year students need to begin their college journey. Over the past 12 years, each trunk has been filled with the things they need to get settled into their dorm rooms (desk supplies, bedding and linens, electronics, and other necessities). Prompted by COVID-19 and colleges/universities anticipating remote learning status for an extended period, Ada S. McKinley is modifying this program for 2020. We will not be hosting a celebratory event, but we remain committed to providing trunks to students. Distribution will be done this summer with social distancing in mind, and this year’s trunks will provide students with distance learning tools to support their ability to remain safe and academically connected. A Memento Booklet will be given to supporters and will be placed inside each trunk (including a photo of each Trunk Scholarship recipient, their name, the college/university they are attending, a list of sponsors, and sponsor advertisements). We will also give supporters access to the winning essays and celebrate our students’ accomplishments in other ways.

WHY SPONSOR?�n The program, named in honor of Revie Sorey, former Ada S. McKinley division director and

Chicago Bear, is high-profile and community driven. Media coverage has reached up to

�n Sponsorships are critical to supporting first-generation college students who, despite their

often distressed circumstances, have chosen to persevere and remain focused on obtaining a

postsecondary education.

�n It takes strong partnerships to cover every aspect of the needs of young people who want to

reach their full potential by attending college. The Trunk Scholarships offers an opportunity to make a significant impact during an important turning point in their lives.

celebratory event due to COVID-19 and the social dis-

tancing requirement, we are replacing our Program

Booklet with a Memento Booklet that will be given to

supporters and placed inside each trunk (including a

photo of each Trunk Scholarship recipient, their name,

the college/university they are attending, a list of spon-

sors, and sponsor advertisements). We will also give

supporters access to the winning essays and celebrate

our students’ accomplishments in other ways.
