Your gift to EDI makes a big impact on every area on campus
Your gift will be used to advance Illinois State's EDI mission through programs like:
- SOAR Program (Success, Opportunity and Realization) funding and expansion. SOAR supports underrepresented students from low-resourced schools to provide opportunities for leadership, belonging, and improve persistence and graduation.
- Study abroad funding for under-represented minority (URM) students - Currently, there are many faculty-led study abroad programs at ISU. However, the cost of the programs is unreachable for most students who desire to partake, and the designations tend to be in Europe. The goal will be to support 10 underrepresented students in studying abroad.
- Providing funding for special EDI projects embedded in colleges and programs throughout the University.
Thank you for giving!
Every gift size counts! Your participation and support is appreciated.
