Scholarship Information

This office coordinates the selection and awarding of two scholarships for non-traditional students: the Non-Traditional Student Service Activity Scholarship ($500 award) for a non-traditional student exhibiting need, academic progress and campus involvement, and the Piper McMahan Endowed Scholarship ($500 award) for a full-time non-traditional student who is currently a sophomore, junior or senior and graduated from high school in Jackson County, Illinois. 

Applications include a cover letter indicating how the student qualifies as non-traditional, a statement on how the scholarship will help in achieving educational goals, a statement describing service and involvement (NTSSAS), two letters of reference from a faculty member and a work supervisor or other acquaintance and an official SIUC transcript. 

Applications are accepted during the month of March each year and the recipients are selected in April.  For additional information, please contact Student Development at (618) 453-5714.
