2007-2008 Illinois Division Scholarship Winner

I know of no other Civil War group of any sort that offers high school seniors a chance to win a scholarship to college.

However, the Illinois Division Sons of Confederate veterans ans Military Order of the Stars and Bars has offered one for the past two years.

Division Commander Jim Barr announced that the 2007-2008 winner is Luke McDaniel Hammer of Sparta, Illinois. He attends Red Bud High School in Red Bud, Illinois.

Congratulations Luke. --Old B-Runner
