Honors Program Funds
Total funds: 6
Honors Program General Fund
The Honors Program restricted fund provides support for the activities, programs and operations associated with the Honors Program.
Bone Scholarship
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.
Clarence and Stella Rose Honors Scholarship
Stella Rose was born February 7, 1906, and passed away on September 7, 1988. She and her husband, Clarence, are buried at Auburn, Illinois. Stella Rose attended ISNU and passed her teacher certification test around 1925. Clarence Rose was an engineer. In consultation with the executor of the estate, it was determined that income from the endowment would be used to support outstanding scholars in the Presidential Scholars Awards program. Candidates for support from the Clarence and Stella Rose Scholars Fund must qualify for admission to the Presidential Scholars program or be an active participant in the program. Assets of this endowment are invested in the ISU Endowment Investment Pool.
Louis A. Olivier Jr. Memorial Scholarship
The Louis A. Olivier Jr. Memorial Scholarship was established by Lance Rogers and Steve Siros to honor the memory of Professor Louis A. Olivier Jr. who made an impact on their education and lives.
Marie Jessa Scholarship
This endowment fund was established through gifts from Marie Jessa to honor ISU seniors who have achieved academically but also have given evidence of initiative and creativity to serve as a challenge for continued development of their potential as fully as possible during their senior year. Three scholarships of $1,500 will be awarded each year. Assets of this endowment are invested in the Illinois State University Investment Pool.
