![]() ![]() ![]() The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to two students (one from Vernon Hills High School and one from Stevenson High School) each year in the amount of $2,500 each. The purpose of the program is to provide funds to senior high school students that identify as female, gender fluid, transgender and nonbinary who have expressed and demonstrated an interest in emulating the career of Justice Ginsburg through education in government, public service, or advocacy. To honor her memory and her legacy of unstinting support for gender and racial equality in all aspects of life, as well as her abilities and energy in continuously working to overcome prejudice and bias, the Vernon Township Board of Trustees has chosen to create The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Scholarship Program. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a groundbreaking attorney, a lifelong advocate for women’s rights and gender equality and served as an Associate Supreme Court Judge for 27 years, the second woman to be appointed to the position.
