Johnstone Supply Awards $85,000 in Scholarships For the 2018-2019 academic year, Johnstone Supply awarded 17 scholarships of $5,000 each to students who are employees or children of employees of Johnstone Supply. The Memorial Scholarship fund was started in 2004 in honor of Johnstone Supply's John M. Shank, founder of Johnstone Supply, Inc. For over 14 years, the scholarship fund, through donations by the Johnstone Supply membership, has supported students in easing the financial burden of higher education. Anna Tulley, a scholarship recipient who will be starting her first semester at Illinois State University this fall, remarked that the scholarship not only helps financially, but also serves as an inspiration. “Thank you for your kindness and generosity. But most of all, thank you for this contribution to my future," Tulley said. “Mr. Shank was a strong believer in giving back to the people who contribute to the success of the company,” said Kim Cafferty, a Johnstone owner and member of the scholarship fund’s Board of Directors.
