Kristin, lovingly known as Kris, was a proud 1985 graduate of South Beloit High School. She later graduated from Creighton University Law School in 1991.
Kris moved to Charleston, IL, after passing the Bar and began her career at Brainard, Bower, & Kramer. In 2015, Kris started her own law firm, the Law Office of Kristin Wilson, of Charleston, IL. She had also been an instructor at a Lakeland Jr. Community College near Mattoon, IL, and had an EMT license in Illinois. Additionally, she was a member of the Coles Cumberland Bar Association and served on the Chapter 7 Panel of the United States Trustees.
Kris was respected both in Illinois as well as outside the state of Illinois.
She had a passion for dogs and showing her Dobermans and the time she spent with Leona Sibo. Kris enjoyed being outdoors, teddy bears and antiques. Kris did anything for the community that she could to give back to the community; this was the same as her mother, Jean Wilson. She enjoyed hot air balloons and traveled to Albuquerque to the Balloon Fiesta.
Eligibility
Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!
