BLDD appreciates and is proud of all applicants who took the time to apply. In recent years, scholarships have been awarded to graduating seniors throughout Illinois and Missouri, including Williamsville-Sherman, Athens, Palmyra, Mattoon, Effingham and Rockridge.

When a failed school referendum threatened to derail progress in Rockridge School District, they discovered that the path to success wasn't just about having the right plan – it was about bringing the whole community along for the journey.
