Civil Service ISU Scholarships and Civil Service Non-ISU Scholarships
The two scholarships for Civil Service staff dependents were created in 1965. Their purpose is to award financial assistance to dependents of Illinois State University Civil Service employees. The student’s achievements and needs are both taken into consideration. They are made possible through funds presented by the Illinois State University Foundation and the Civil Service Council’s fundraising activities.
Carl Johanson Scholarships
Al and Elaine Goldfarb endowed the Carl Johanson Scholarship for Elaine’s father. The recipients must be an Illinois State University Civil Service employee working towards an ISU degree. Employees only taking courses one semester per school year are also encouraged to apply.
The Civil Service Scholarship committee will announce the award recipients in March 2024.
