Lella Cox Schaaf College Student Affairs Fund

The Lella Cox Schaaf College Student Affairs Fund provides financial assistance to graduate students enrolled full-time at Eastern Illinois University with a declared major in College Student Affairs. Recipients must demonstrate academic excellence with a minimum 3.2 GPA and be well-rounded, academically talented students. Financial need is a key consideration, and an ideal candidate will have shown a demonstrated commitment to community service. The award is announced in the Spring semester and paid in the Fall semester. Recipients may apply for and receive the award again provided they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
