Courtney Hoene is Facklam Scholarship Winner

Courtney Hoene was named the 2018 recipient of the $850 Delbert and Maradyl Facklam Scholarship. In the fall, Courtney will attend Indiana State University to study pre-veterinary science.

The Delbert and Maradyl Facklam Scholarship was established by the late Delbert Facklam, for the purpose of perpetuating higher education opportunities for Teutopolis High School graduates in memory of the Teutopolis High School faculty and classmates of the Class of 1939. Mr. Facklam was born in Stewardson, Illinois and attended St. Michael’s School in Sigel until his senior year, where he attended Teutopolis High School. After retiring from the U.S. Navy, Mr. Facklam lived most of his adult life in California. However, he never abandoned the regional area where he spent his earliest years.

The Delbert and Maradyl Facklam Scholarship is a fund of Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. For more information, visit www.enrichingourcommunity.org/FacklamScholarship or call 217-342-4988.
