From a young age, donor and former Illinois State staff Dr. Elizabeth Chapman dreamed of becoming a teacher. Her parents were encouraging but made it clear that Chapman would have to find means beyond their support to finance her education. That’s when she began applying for the scholarships that made it possible for her to pursue a degree in education. When looking back on how these opportunities impacted her life, Chapman said, “I graduated from college with minimal debt. I couldn’t have done it if I had not had the scholarships I had.”
