About the scholarship:
In May
2004, the Women’s Studies Program endowed its first scholarship,
the Mothers Memorial Scholarship Fund! Thank you to the associates
and friends of Women's Studies for making the 2004 Mother's Day
fundraising campaign a huge success.
Scholarships were made
available for the first time in the spring semester of 2005 to NIU
juniors, seniors, and graduate students whose goals include improving
the lives of women - through education, research, advocacy, support,
policy making, or other appropriate means. Applications and announcements
to students for the scholarship will continue every spring semester,
with winners being awarded the scholarship for the upcoming fall
semester.
 The
Mothers Memorial Scholarship Fund honors those who are or act as
mothers to members of the NIU community. The scholarship offers
an exciting new option for creating a lasting memorial or recognition
of the important women in our lives.
Even though we are endowed,
we are still accepting contributions in order to increase the endowment
and consequently the scholarships awarded to students. When the
contributions honoring a particular individual total $1,000 or more,
a brief biography of that woman will appear in all public materials
describing the scholarships (including the Women’s Studies
web site) and be read at the awards presentation. Individuals who
contribute a minimum of $1000 will also be included in the annual
NIU Foundation donors’ dinner and other recognition activities.
Contributions of less than $1,000 recognizing a single person will
be acknowledged by publication of that individual’s name in
the list of women honored by
the scholarship.
Checks, made out to
the NIU Foundation with “Mothers Memorial Scholarship”
in the comment line, may be sent to the Women’s Studies Program,
Reavis 103, Northern Illinois University. If
