The Scholarship aims to strengthen St. Anthony High School by promoting its core values, culture, and curriculum into the local community. Through the generosity of Kay Jansen, Jack &amp; Jenny Jansen, Robert &amp; Kelly Willenborg, and J&amp;J Gaming Charity, the Scholarship seeks to expand the school\u2019s positive impact across South-Central Illinois, attracting students who embody the mission, vision, and values of the school.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify for the Jim &amp; Kay Jansen Scholarship, students are required to transfer to St. Anthony High School and should not have been previously enrolled at St. Anthony Grade School. The number of scholarship awards for each grade school or junior high school will not exceed two students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jansen family has a longstanding commitment to community philanthropy,\u201d said J&amp;J Gaming CEO Bob Willenborg. \u201cThe Jansen family grandchildren have greatly benefited from their exceptional education and high school experiences at St. Anthony High School. The Jim &amp; Kay Jansen Scholarship hopes to extend that opportunity to future students and to continue to foster the overall appeal of the school while relieving the burden of financial constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information and the application for the Jim &amp; Kay Jansen Scholarship can be found at jjventures.com, st.anthony.com, or picked up at the St. Anthony Parish offices located at 101 E.
