Scholarships and Financial Aid

College of Education Scholarship Program

Scholarships offered to students are awarded by the Office of the Dean and departments within the College of Education in conjunction with the Financial Aid Office and the Illinois State University Foundation. Application criteria vary. The amounts and number of awards vary due to fund balances and annual endowment earnings.

The College of Education is grateful to alumni and friends of the college who have provided gifts to our scholarships and awards. We welcome financial gifts to the College of Education. Learn more about giving opportunities to the College of Education.
