EI&U Leadership Fund

The EI&U Leadership Fund is a scholarship for full-time students at Eastern Illinois University who have completed at least one year of study. The scholarship is designed for sophomores, juniors, and seniors who demonstrate financial need and have shown leadership qualities through campus or community service activities. Recipients must be in good academic and disciplinary standing. The award requires applicants to submit a brief essay explaining their leadership involvement in campus or community service, as well as an essay describing their financial need beyond what is reflected in FAFSA information. This award is typically announced in the Spring semester and disbursed in the Fall or across both Fall and Spring semesters. The scholarship amount varies based on available funding and individual circumstances.
