The Mark Southern Memorial Scholarship is a grant for education after high school.  The amount of money awarded will not be less than one thousand dollars ($1,000).  The Scholarship is named for the late Mark Southern, who was a friend and supporter of the Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District.  Sadly, Mark passed away in 2004 and continues to be missed today by many.  Mark believed in hard work and in helping other people anyway he could.
