Still So Important to Students' Success
We are so glad that your son or daughter has chosen to attend UIS. We know that you continue to play an important role in your son's or daughter's life.
Your Sons and Daughters Inspire Everything...
Your son or daughter and others like them inspire everything we do at UIS because because of
- who they are,
- whom they hope to be,
- what they will contribute to each other's lives and to the lives of the other communities they will join
We want to provide academic execellence and lots of enriching experiences so that they can make a lasting and positive difference in the world.
If you also are inspired by these wonderful students--your son or daughter among them--and by the amazing opportunities they have to change the world for the better, please consider supporting the university through your gifts.
Our Students Need Your Help
We're asking you to give to UIS for the sake of our students. So many have financial needs. So many have to limit their experiences. Many can't even afford books. You can read more about our students and their needs, but at a minimum you should know that most of our students work part- or even fulltime jobs just to make ends meet. Your support can make an enormous difference to their college experience.
The Cost of a College Education Keeps Going Up
It's not just our students' financial situation that makes your support so important. Operating costs keep going up as well, even as our revenue from the state keeps going down. You can read read more about these reasons we need your support, but please know that we are doing everything we can to maintain services for our students.
Again, your gifts can have an immediate and important impact on the success of our students' experiences at UIS.
