Congratulations to the 2023 Joe Hutton Scholarship winner, Chloe Lynch. Chloe is a Warren High school student who is pursuing a degree in education. Chloe is pictured above with her parents and Diane Elfering, Local 504 Scholarship Chair. The Lake County Federation of Teachers Local 504 offers the annual Joe Hutten Scholarship to any Lake County Illinois public school graduate who is attending an Illinois Public Higher Education school. The Lake County Federation of Teachers established the Joe Hutten Scholarship to honor the late educator and union activist. Hutten was a business teacher at Zion-Benton High School and he was a key organizer for the Zion-Benton Federation of Teachers. Hutten was thrilled when Zion-Benton became a part of the Union because he felt that Local 504 was teacher oriented. He was a dedicated Union member who regularly attended Union meetings, IFT & AFT conventions and reported back to the Local 504 Executive Board. Joe loved his family, students and Union. $2,000 Scholarship Awarded One Time per Year 2024 Application Information Announced Later. The Joe Hutten Scholarship Application can be found here.
