Community Recognition:

• Loni Hansel Community Enrichment Award

Since 1988, the JSC has honored individuals whose time and dedication have made a difference in the lives of those in the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon communities. Originally named the Community Enrichment Award, the name was changed several years ago to honor a beloved JSC member,  Loni Hansel,  who unexpectedly passed away in 2011. Loni joined the JSC in 1970,  and for over 40 years, her devotion made a big impact in the lives of those in our community.

• Scholarship

We are committed to continuing education and to the development of strong young women in our communities. Thus, the Junior Service Club awards one scholarship to a qualifying high school female senior who plans to continue her education at a college, university, business, or vocational school. The scholarship recipient receives $5,000, paid to the student’s account at her school of choice.
