Linda Willis Fisher Scholarship Fund
This Linda Willis Fisher Restricted Scholarship was established in 2010 upon the retirement of Linda Willis Fisher, to celebrate her 22-year career as coordinator of the art education program at Illinois State University. An accomplished artist herself, Fisher mentored and inspired hundreds of students to go forward and become excellent art educators. The purpose of the fund is to recruit or retain exceptional students in art education. Scholarships will be no less than $500 or more than $1,000 per year. Candidates must have junior standing or above, have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0/4.0, and be enrolled in the art teacher education program seeking certification. Preference will be given to those who exhibit leadership in the student chapter of the National Art Education Association.
