College of Ed Student Scholarships

In the College of Education, we prepare the next generation of teachers, athletic trainers, college professors, counselors, technology specialists, exercise scientists, principals, researchers, school business managers, superintendents and more.

We strive to give our students the best experience and preparation possible, and that’s where you can make a difference. We encourage you to support one of the following areas that align with our mission to create an inclusive, engaging and supportive environment that inspires students, faculty and staff to strive for excellence in their chosen professions.

Student Scholarships

Did you know that nearly 84 percent of our full-time students need some sort of financial aid, but only a quarter are receiving scholarship support? Your generosity can enable these smart and talented students to come to NIU – and to stay here until they graduate.
