Grace Brorstrom Oakley Scholarship Donate
Grace Brorstrom Oakley dedicated much of her time to encouraging women and economically disadvantaged persons to achieve a secondary education. Before terminal illness claimed her life in the early’ 90s, Ms. Brorstrom Oakley had been instrumental in establishing several scholarships for this target population. The Grace Brorstrom Oakley Scholarship was established in 1994, by her son, UIS Research Profesor, Burks Oakley, II. Applicants for the scholarship must be part- or full-time, academically sound undergraduate students enrolled in an online degree program. In continuance of Ms. Oakley’s life mission, preference is given to single mothers who have returned to college after being out for a period of time.
Burks Oakley II Distinguished Online Teaching Award
Burks is also an award-winning, world-renowned online learning expert. These two men have a lot to do with UIS' stellar ongoing success in online learning. They began these funds as just one more way to improve UIS' program; when you give to the funds, you'll be in great company!
