The Illinois Jaycee Charitable Foundation Scholarship is open to all graduating high school seniors and is based upon involvement, leadership roles, honors and awards, employment, personal statement, financial statement, scholastic achievement and references.

The number of $1000 scholarships awarded annually will be determined by the amount of funds raised from the result of The Larry Olsen Memorial Golf Tournament held in August of each year and through private donations from other foundations and individuals. Two recipients of the Illinois Jaycee Charitable Foundation Scholarship Award will become the nominees from Illinois for the US JCI Senate Foundation Scholarship Award.
