Benton Seniors Sign for Rend Lake

BENTON, Ill. (April 29, 2019) — Twenty-two Benton Consolidated High School seniors enrolled at Rend Lake College last week during one of RLC’s College Signing events. Many of these students have already taken advantage of The Lake’s free Dual Credit program, saving themselves and their families tens of thousands in college costs. By choosing to continue their education in one of more than 100 degree or certificate programs at RLC, these students will save around $18,000 a year in tuition and fees — when compared to the average cost of a public university.

Students pictured are, front row, from left, Toni Frayser, Olivia Norris, Samantha Depasquale, Summer Phillips, Ashley Kemmerling, Brian Curry. Second row, from left, Ethan Reynolds, Logan Jones, Caleb Fowler, Ally “Nicole” Hatchcraft, Heather Stroud, Macie Cockrum, Lucas Roberts. Third row, from left, Leonard Montgomery, Dylan Compley, Isaiah Ord, Josiah Jones, Lane Frost, Casey Lingle, River Kearney, Austin Crawford and Brendan Luster.

RLC will be at Mt. Vernon on Thursday for a College Signing event. Students there will have the chance to register with a trained academic advisor, receive an exclusive “I Choose Rend Lake College” tee shirt, and participate in the photo opportunity
