Assistance League Chicagoland West awards scholarships of $2500 to students with demonstrated financial need who are enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a degree or certificate program at the College of DuPage. In addition to financial need, the selection process is based on academic merit and commitment to the student's course of study.

Applicants who are not currently enrolled at COD must be 21 or older, have a high school diploma or GED, and be seeking to improve their career prospects through a degree or certificate program at COD.
