Panther First Generation Scholarship

The Panther First Generation Scholarship supports first-generation, first-time full-time students who reside in Illinois. Recipients must have filed a FAFSA or Illinois Alternative Application for the awarding year and must have demonstrated financial need. The scholarship is designed to help first-generation college students access higher education at Eastern Illinois University. Awards may be renewable if the recipient maintains full-time enrollment, completes a FAFSA or Illinois Alternative Application, and maintains Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Awards will be announced in the Spring and disbursed in the Fall and Spring semesters.
