Following Mr. Renfro’s death in 1996, Mrs. Renfro established the John A. Renfro Bright Future Scholarship Fund to allow Unit 10 students to attend educational-based summer camps. That program was discontinued to support the creation of a new scholarship for CHS graduating seniors.
CHS graduates who meet certain qualifications and “identify as Hispanic, African-American, other minority status, nationality or ethnicity and who reside in the Collinsville Unit 10 School District” are eligible to apply.
The $500 John A. Renfro Bright Future Scholarship is awarded through the Scholarship Committee of Delta Epsilon at Collinsville High School.
