ADDING TO AN EXISTING SCHOLARSHIP

A SMALLER GIFT, A BIG IMPACT

Cindy Ward and Brandy Riley at the 2007 Scholarship LuncheonIf you would like to support scholarships at UIS, but would rather give a more modest gift, you can contribute to any student assistance fund—named or otherwise—already in existence at UIS. These gifts add up quickly when enough people give and make a huge difference for the students at UIS.

Whatever your interest, we can help you find a fund.

  • Do you have a background in writing? We have a scholarship fund for students specializing in writing.
  • Art?
  • Music?
  • Computers?
  • Accounting?
  • Social Work?

We have all those funds. How about underrepresented students? We have a fund for that. Women returning to school later in life? That one, too.

Shana Stine, on a study-abroad service learning experience in KenyaOne of our most exciting initiatives is sending students on study-abroad service learning experiences, such as the trip Shana Stine took to Kenya to work in an orphanage. Supported partially by a UIS study-abroad grant, Shana came back to begin a not-for-profit agency to raise money to support the orphanage.

Change a life. Change the world!

With each gift you give, you can know that you are helping to create Brilliant Futures not just for our students but for the communities they will one day serve…possibly your own community!
