Established in 2009 by sisters Dana ’85, M.S. ’87, and Dr. Dianne Ashby, and Dianne’s husband Jack Lockman, the Ashby-Lockman Family Future Special Education Teacher Scholarship assists first-generation students pursuing a degree in special education. This year’s recipient, Isaiah Douglas, said receiving the award allowed him to grow as a student in Illinois State’s Department of Special Education.
