The Robin Memorial Scholarship

Mission

In memory of Robin Scott-Jackson, we at South Cook ISC have created "The Robin Memorial Scholarship." This scholarship is created to provide financial assistance to our RISE students who are continuing on to college/trade school or military training.

History

Robin joined the South Cook ISC 4 family in 2001. She worked as the registrar until her passing in 2017. During her time with us, she carried the spirit of excellence and demonstrated a strong work ethic.

Robin left a positive impact on everyone she met. She loved and was dedicated to her family. To the schools South Cook ISC 4 service, she was the kind voice over the phone that helped with workshop registrations. To her fellow co-workers, she inspired them to do their best. She was a giver and an encourager.

Robin encountered many hardships in life; however, she displayed courage to face the challenges and to overcome them while being kind and thoughtful, often putting the needs of others above her own.

Education was important to Robin, so it is only fitting that we establish this scholarship in her honor. It is our hope this scholarship will inspire and encourage our students to persevere and reach for excellence. As portrayed by Robin's life, we believe our students can RISE above their challenges while leaving a positive impact on others.
