Being an employee of the University of Illinois at Springfield not only provides a great place to work but also an opportunity to further one’s education. To that end, the UIS Staff Scholarship has been helping UIS employees with the expense of higher education since 1994. The scholarship was the brainchild of UIS (then Sangamon State University) employee, Michael Love. In a special recognition during the 5th Annual Civil Service Appreciation Day on September 22, 2011, the Staff Scholarship at UIS was renamed in memory of Mike Love. Love was a former UIS employee who was very passionate about the scholarship.
