Bone Scholarship
This endowment was established by the Illinois State University Foundation in honor of the retirement of Robert Bone in 1967. The scholarship is awarded to a full-time senior level student who has a GPA of 3.7 or higher and participates in a variety of campus and community activities. Recipients of Bone Scholar Awards have reached the highest level of recognition attainable by an ISU student. Assets of this endowment are invested in the Illinois State University Endowment Investment Pool. Since Robert Bone retired as President of Illinois State University in 1967, the ISU Foundation Board of Directors has funded the Bone Scholar Awards. Recipients of Bone Scholar Awards have reached the highest level of recognition attainable by an ISU student. In 1988-1989, members of the Foundation Board, in conjunction with the Honors College, conducted a fund raising campaign to "endow" the Bone Scholar program. The campaign was successful and a Bone Scholar Endowment Fund has been established.
