Viola T. Mays Endowed Scholarship Fund
Viola T. Mays, a 1930 graduate of ISNU, made a bequest to Illinois State University through her will. Proceeds from the sale of certain properties were to be used to fund a loan fund for senior students. An endowment fund was established. The interest earned each year is to be transferred to the ISU Student Loan Fund, which is to be used for loans to senior level students. Senior students at ISU seeking a loan must be in good academic standing and demonstrate financial need. Assets from this endowment are invested in the ISU Endowment Investment Pool.
