Moms and Dads Association Financial Awards
The Moms Association provides an annual donation to an organization or program that promotes the growth and development of students at Illinois. The Association seeks requests for funding to be reviewed in the late fall to early spring of each year. The Moms Association Board reviews the requests and will invite the recipient to attend the Moms Weekend Kick-off Dinner on Moms Weekend each spring.
The Dads Association annually gives Library Awards to honor the three students who rank at the top of their college at the completion of their sophomore year (60 graded credit hours). The Association makes a donation to the University Library for the purchase of a book that includes a bookplate with the student's name and University class year. If there are more than three students who have 4.0 cumulative grade point averages at that point in their academic career, all of them receive the award.
The Moms and Dads Associations sponsor an annual Tuition Drawing. First prize is a year's tuition and second prize is a semester's tuition. Drawing is held during Dads Weekend. The Associations have funded the Career Cluster resource center and the Interactive Media Center at the Undergraduate Library, a McKinley Health Center video, bicycles for the University Police, televisions for the McKinley Health Center waiting areas and a wide variety of other programs with proceeds from the Tuition Drawing.
The Dads Association Scholarships were established during the 1999-2000 academic year. Four $500 scholarships based on merit and financial need are awarded annually, one each to a freshman, a sophomore, a junior and a senior. To be eligible, the student must have previously filed an application for financial assistance with the Office of Student Financial Aid and his or her parent(s) must be Dads Association member(s).
