Investing in the best people and programs

Giving students a small college experience within a large university is the goal of Educating Illinois and also an ongoing effort in the College of Business. Through giving donors have an opportunity to invest in the people and programs that lie at the heart of an exceptional education.

Students

Endowed scholarships open the doors of education and business to students of all financial circumstances. They also promote geographic and cultural diversity and attract top students who will make enormous contributions to the college, the university, the region, and the world.

Faculty

Endowed chairs and professorships attract and retain acclaimed faculty by honoring them as teachers and supporting their scholarly work. They enable faculty to continue their educations and enrich their teaching.

Programs

Program funds enrich and expand the array of academic programs available to students. They strengthen core academic programs and provide "seed money" to launch innovative programs that respond to changes in the business environment.
