Kate Booker Stapp Scholarship

The Kate Booker Stapp Scholarship is awarded to women students at Eastern Illinois University who are facing specific life circumstances while pursuing their education. This scholarship specifically supports women whose husbands are either deceased or incapacitated, who have at least one child under the age of 18, and who are enrolled in a teaching curriculum. The award is designed to help these students overcome financial barriers while preparing for careers in education. The scholarship is announced in the Spring semester and disbursed across both Fall and Spring semesters to provide ongoing support throughout the academic year.
