Beverly Slabaugh Scholarship Fund (Management - Peoria) Donate

Jana Wise, Director of the UIS Peoria Center, was such an inspiration to her workforce that upon the death of her sister, her department established a scholarship in the sister’s memory. Wise’s sister, Beverly Slabaugh passed away in 1996 and the Management Program team at the Peoria Center chose to establish the Beverly Slabaugh Memorial Scholarship, both in memory of Ms. Slabaugh and in honor of Ms. Wise’s dedication to the management program at the UIS Peoria Center.

The net income from this fund supports scholarships for students in the management curriculum at the UIS Peoria Center. Applicants must be graduates or transfer students from Illinois Central Community College in the UIS Management program, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and demonstrated leadership potential.

Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship Donate

This is a family affair! WWII veteran and IBM lifetime achievement officer, Paul Snodgrass had an early affinity for UIS (then Sangamon State University) as demonstrated by his monetary contribution for SSU’s initial land acquisition. Yet, no one could have known back then that Paul’s early affection for UIS would emerge as a lasting legacy that still affects the lives of students today. In 1982, Mr. Snodgrass earned his MABA of Business from SSU, where his wife had earlier received her bachelor and master degrees in communication. All three of the Snodgrass children earned bachelor degrees from U of I in Urbana, and two went on to complete their Master degrees from SSU. Additionally, two of the Snodgrass children also married graduates of SSU/UIS. When Mr. Snodgrass died on February 27, 1998 – less than one week after his 71st birthday – it was his IBM family who established the Paul M. Snodgrass Memorial Scholarship at UIS in his honor, acknowledging his tireless dedication to the university. The scholarship has since been funded by the Snodgrass family for permanent endowment to benefit students in UIS’ business administration and management programs.
