Since spring 1984, the David Koch/Board of Education Scholarship has been given in honor of former District 88 Superintendent Dr. David F. Koch Jr. Koch retired as superintendent in June 1983 and completed 35 years of service to the district. He also was the first principal of Addison Trail.

Scholarship recipients are chosen from the 18 students named as 88’s Best during the school year. The District 88 Board of Education and administration created the 88’s Best award to highlight students’ success. That award recognizes nine Addison Trail and nine Willowbrook students each school year for reaching their personal best in one of the following areas: academics, highly improved performance, extracurricular activities, service work or performing arts/electives.
