Keep calm and apply: The less you borrow now, the less you will have to pay back after you graduate.

Last year, the College of Education gave away nearly $350,000 to education students through its scholarship program. We are proud that Illinois State University remains one of the most affordable institutions in the state, but we realize that many of our education students will graduate with student loan debt.

Planning ahead and keeping track of deadlines are important because applications for College of Education scholarships are available from March 1–31 at Education.IllinoisState.edu/Scholarships.
