Ink and Feathers Comics started offering the Freedom Journalism Scholarship for seniors planning to major in journalism or photo journalism from Streator High School or Woodland High School in the 1999-2000 school year.

One $250 journalism scholarship is also awarded each year to a senior from either Streator or Woodland high schools.

Each scholarships are competitive. For the art scholarship at Herscher, students must submit one sample of their art to be judged.
