Four Batavia High School Seniors Awarded Inspire Scholarships from the Batavia Chamber of Commerce


The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the winners of their Inspire Scholarships for 2022. The four scholarship categories are motivated by the makeup of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce membership. All winners are members of the 2022 graduating class of Batavia Public School District 101. The financial award of $750 will be paid directly to the institute the recipient will be attending.

According to Margaret Perreault, president and CEO of Batavia Chamber of Commerce, the scholarship committee was impressed by the number and quality of the applicants for this year’s scholarship program.

“We are happy to support our community with this program,” Ms. Perreault said. “Because we are looking for future inspiring leaders, the scholarship application explored this sentiment. The answers we received were inspirational, making it difficult to choose only one awardee in each category.”

The awardees, their intended college and the scholarship category follows.

Inspiring Entrepreneurship: A scholarship to reward a student who has interest in starting a business to encourage consideration to locate in Batavia someday. Corey Berg is the awardee in this category and will attend Illinois State University as a computer science major. After taking the Incubator class at Batavia High School, Corey created an online custom clothing brand, Limbo Line, which he hopes to continue in college. It is his dream to use his entrepreneurial skills along with the knowledge gained from his major to create a business related to technology, possibly in software development.

Inspiring Women in Business: A scholarship to reward a female high school student interested in a business major to encourage more females to pursue these fields. Sofia Johnson is the awardee in this competitive category and will attend Samford University in pre-business with a concentration in social entrepreneurship. It is her dream to have an ice cream truck that travels across world to bring joy that “overflows through the ice cream I serve.” Sofia cited Batavia Popcorn Depot owner Talitha Mueller as her inspirational woman in business mentor because not only does she sell delicious popcorn, but she also created a place where everyone feels welcome and accepted.

Inspiring Career & Technical Achievers: A scholarship to reward a high school student interested in a trade or career in manufacturing. Bradley Beilfuss is the awardee in this category and will attend Waubonsee Community College to begin his pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in Computer Aided Design (CAD). He is interested in automation engineering or design engineering because he would eventually like to invent new products for a company. He says that his current internship through Waubonsee Community College has given him a good idea of what it’s like to work in different engineering fields at a manufacturing facility.

Inspiring Contributors to a Batavia Chamber Business: A scholarship to reward a high school student for working for a Batavia Chamber business during high school. Aisling McGrath is the awardee in this category and plans to attend Bucknell University for accounting with the goal of becoming a CPA. Aisling worked at Green Tree Bookkeeping, owned by Gina Malvestuto, which she credits for confirming her interest in accounting. She says that this experience gave her the confidence to accomplish her goals and thanks Green Tree Bookkeeping for the opportunity to work for a business that is led by strong women.

The four recipients were acknowledged and presented with their checks at Senior Recognition Night at Batavia High School on Wednesday, May 11th.

“We sincerely wish our scholarship winners, along with all the top-notch applicants, much success as they continue their educational journey,” summed Margaret. “Congratulations to all!”
