This fund, created upon receipt of a bequest from the estate of Wanda Kuhn in 1986, was established as an endowment in 1989.
J. Paul Kuhn (1889-1966) was an Aurora attorney for many years.
He received his law degree in 1910 and established a practice in Aurora that year.
He served as assistant state’s attorney in Kane County from 1912-1916 and was active in numerous professional and fraternal organizations.
Wanda Kuhn was born in Iowa in 1919. She was an Aurora resident until her death in 1985.
A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

Past Scholarship Recipient & Current Leadership Coach
As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
