The Black Alumni Scholarship

The Western Illinois University Black Alumni Committee Scholarship Award was established in 2007. The award is intended to provide financial assistance to deserving and qualified African American students enrolled full-time at Western Illinois University. It is still available for WIU students to apply. Visit the scholarship application to apply.

We invite you to learn more about your fellow citizens and the struggles, obstacles and injustices that have been and continue to experience as well as join in the celebrations of the progress that has been made.

Together we move forward!
