Keyes2Life Scholarship Fund

Established 2016

keyes_corpiaThe Keyes2Life Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to high school seniors who have an interest in pursuing a health career and are dedicated to improving the communities in which they live. This dedication is demonstrated by providing letters of reference from community leaders and/or high school counselors as well as an original community project which answers the question, “What are your Keyes2Life?” Recipients are chosen by a panel of judges and awards are presented at the Keyes2Life Annual Scholarship Award Dinner.

The Keyes2Life Scholarship was created by Dr. Corpia Keyes, a graduate of Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine who currently practices as an Internal Medicine Physician. Dr. Keyes is now a resident of the Fox River Valley community and provides in home services to individuals who would otherwise not be able to remain in the comfort of their own homes.

A proud graduate of the Chicago Public School system, and a recipient of several academic and community scholarships, Dr. Keyes is dedicated to medicine, education, community and helping others accomplish goals once thought unattainable.

This scholarship will not only provide financial assistance to our aspiring youth who exhibit the same dedication, but will also empower and encourage them to take the first step in impacting the communities in which they live.

For more information about Dr. Keyes or Keyes2Life, Inc. please visit www.Keyes2Life.org.

YEP was a great experience to have in high school. I became a more confident person, someone with a lot more perspective. Coming from a small school, YEP allowed me to branch out into my community, meet students from other schools, and learn about their backgrounds. I made some great friends and still keep in touch with them today.

Being a part of the Community Foundation scholarship committee is the highlight of my year. For many, a scholarship from the CFFRV is the reason they are able to continue reaching for their dreams and changing the future of our world. I hope each recipients knows just how inspirational they are to those of us who are lucky enough to read their stories.

I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Zari Foundation Scholarship and the Community Foundation in supporting my education. I am majoring in mechanical engineering with a concentration in aerospace engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology. In my spare time, I volunteer on campus, in the community and I’m also the principal violist in the symphony orchestra. I hope to make an impact on the next chapter of space exploration by eventually working at a groundbreaking aerospace company such as SpaceX or NASA.

YEP has made me realize the importance of being involved in my community, and how to make a difference. There are a lot of problems in the world but if we can do everything that we can to help the world will become a better place. YEP has helped me realize this and encouraged me to help more people in the future.
