Our Opportunities

NOTE: The current General Application for Endowed/Annual Scholarships for 25/26 is currently available. Please contact Financial Aid Office if you have any questions or concerns at 815-836-5263 or finaid@lewisu.edu.

The Endowed and Annual Scholarship Application is open to all traditional undergraduate majors and select graduate majors depending on opportunities available. Award amounts are estimated and may vary each fiscal year. There is the possibility that a scholarship is listed but not funded for the current academic year. If you are chosen as a recipient, your name will appear in scholarship publications and elsewhere as appropriate. Some scholarships require certain obligations before they are disbursed onto students’ accounts. Students may only receive one Endowed or Annual Scholarship per academic year. Please be advised your Financial Aid award may be adjusted should you be selected for a scholarship opportunity.
