Will You Join Us in Elevating Our Students and Faculty?
We need your help to ensure every Redbird has the resources to scale the summit of their Illinois State journey.
Illinois State's faculty places a high value on experiential learning programs that impact students' personal and professional development outside the classroom.
Thanks to donors like you investing in these programs, more students can afford these life-changing experiences that boost their success and propel them to their goals.
The following six priority areas need your help! Consider a meaningful gift to the area(s) you are most passionate about.
Career Services
Career Services provides students with resources to secure internships, polish resumes, network, and partner with career advisors.
Study Abroad
Cultural experiences through international study abroad programs provide high impact learning, expand students’ worldviews and preparedness for success beyond graduation. Your support will allow more students this life-changing opportunity.
Student Research
Student research and domestic field study increases the depth of learning and helps Redbirds see themselves as knowledge creators who can contribute to their field of study.
Multicultural Center
The Multicultural Center is a place of belonging and support - a place where students have a space for intersecting identities and to become a champion for antiracism, equity, and justice.
Red and White Scholarship Fund
Sometimes, unexpected challenges threaten a Redbird’s path. The Red and White Scholarship Fund helps them overcome obstacles and continue their journey. This past 2021-2022 school year, over $573,000 was disbursed from the Red and White Scholarship to 120 students in financial need.
Center for Civic Engagement
Civic Engagement opportunities prepare students to live thoughtful and meaningful lives through programming like Deliberative Dialogues, guided conversations on difficult topics.
The Center for Civic Engagement also provides opportunities for Alternative Break service projects during school breaks. The Center also plays a big role in voter education and participation efforts on campus.
Give today to support these funds that enhance the Redbird experience in and out of the classroom!
