Bachelor of General Studies Degree Completion Scholarship

The Bachelor of General Studies Degree Completion Scholarship is designed to support non-traditional adult students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in General Studies Program at Eastern Illinois University who are nearing degree completion. The scholarship specifically targets students who have only one or two classes remaining to complete their BGS degree. Financial need is a primary consideration for this award. Recipients must be part-time or full-time students accepted to Eastern Illinois University and enrolled in the BGS program. Applicants are required to submit a letter explaining their current circumstances and the need for financial assistance, which will be verified by the EIU Financial Aid Office. The scholarship is announced in the Spring semester and disbursed in the Fall semester. The award amount varies depending on available funding. This opportunity is ideal for adult learners pursuing interdisciplinary studies through Eastern Illinois University's School of Extended Learning, including those in online and evening degree programs.
