The Orland Township Scholarship Foundation awards scholarship funds to local students based on academic achievement and community service. The Scholarship Foundation helps graduating Township high school seniors each year to have the resources they need to pay for the escalating cost of college. The foundation invests in the long-term future of Orland Township’s most valuable commodity - the youth.
