The Grace Brorstrom Oakley Scholarship
for continuing part-time or full-time undergraduate students enrolled in an online degree program at UIS who are achieving well academically. Students must only be enrolled in online courses at a distance. Grace Brorstrom Oakley dedicated much of her life encouraging women to achieve. To reflect Mrs. Oakley's commitment to others, single mothers who returned to higher education after being out a period of time are particularly encouraged to apply for this $1000 scholarship.
