University Housing Services Funds
Total funds: 5
Garrett Van Ausdall and Anna L. Keaton Scholarship
This endowed fund was established in 1964 in memory of Garrett Van Ausdall, graduate counselor in Dunn Hall, by the residents of Dunn, Walker, Barton, Fell, and Atkin/Colby residence halls. It is awarded to a male student who is a sophomore or junior at the time of application. The Keaton Scholarship was established in 1985 to recognize a female sophomore of junior level student, in good academic standing, and of good character who actively participates in residence hall and campus activities. The student must reside in a residence hall both prior to and following the scholarship election process. These two pre-existing, independent accounts were renamed as the Garrett Van Ausdall and Anna L. Keaton Scholarship in 2005 and merged to increase the total principal, allowing for a more sizable award to be dispersed each year. The original guidelines for each fund will continue to be followed. Assets of this endowment are invested in the Illinois State University Endowment Investment Pool.
University Housing Services Excellence Fund
The University Housing Services Excellence Fund supports the activities, programs and services provided by University Housing Services at Illinois State University.
University Housing Services Student Employee Scholarship
The University Housing Services Student Employee Scholarship Endowment was established in 2016. The purpose of this fund is to provide a scholarship to a student employed by University Housing Services. Applicants must have been employed for at least two semesters (non-consecutive and summers may be included).
Hoelting Team Player Award
The Hoelting Team Player Award was established in 1980 by Dr. Floyd B. Hoelting, who served as the director of the Office of Residential Life (now known as University Housing Services and Campus Dining Services) from 1977-1995. The Award recognizes extraordinary team loyalties, efforts, and successes by University Housing Services employees who have consistently assisted other staff, University Housing, and the University in meeting goals and commitments.
Manchester Scholarship and Janice A. Augustson Award
The Manchester scholarship was created in 1986 in memory of Flora and Orson Manchester. Orson was a University High School principal and ISU dean. The award is to be given to a resident of Manchester Hall who has a B average and is a sophomore or junior. All areas of study are considered, but the recipient is to be involved in University activities and have a high regard for others. The Janice Augustson Fund was established in 1966 to honor an exemplary residence hall director. The fund provides an award annually to an outstanding female employed in the residence halls who demonstrates a high level of leadership and performance. In January 2007 the two funds were merged into one account so a more sizeable award could be made each year. The award is to be made each fall, alternating names each year, beginning with Manchester in 2008. The prior scholarship guidelines will continue to be followed for each award. Assets of this endowment are invested in the ISU Endowment Investment Pool.
