Tim and Melanie Mills Nursing Scholarship

The Tim and Melanie Mills Nursing Scholarship supports full-time nursing students at Eastern Illinois University. The scholarship prioritizes students who demonstrate career aspirations in patient advocacy or event planning within nursing, assisted care, or other healthcare settings. Recipients must reside in specific Illinois counties, with preference given to students from Coles, Douglas, Edgar, Moultrie, Effingham, Cumberland, Shelby, Jasper, Clark, or Fayette counties. If no applicants from these counties qualify, students from other Illinois counties may be considered. The award is renewable for students who continue to meet the eligibility criteria. Awards are announced in the Spring semester and disbursed in the Fall semester.
