The Lake County Federation of Teachers Local 504 offers the annual Joe Hutten Scholarship to any Lake County Illinois public school graduate who is attending an Illinois Public Higher Education school.

Hutten was a business teacher at Zion-Benton High School and he was a key organizer for the Zion-Benton Federation of Teachers. Hutten was thrilled when Zion-Benton became a part of the Union because he felt that Local 504 was teacher oriented. He was a dedicated Union member who regularly attended Union meetings, IFT & AFT conventions and reported back to the Local 504 Executive Board. Joe loved his family, students and Union. $2,000 Scholarship awarded one-time per year. Application Deadline is April 4, 2024. Scholarship Award Winner will be announced by May 14, 2024.
