Huskies United 2025 has ended, but you can still make your gift here!
LAC Engagement Scholarship

The purpose of the LAC Engagement Scholarship is to support students who have demonstrated a commitment to the Latino/x community, as well as characteristics of leadership and academic and professional potential and applications are accepted from all students at NIU. 

This Fund celebrates and promotes diversity while providing an inclusive platform for all students at the University. The mission of the Northern Illinois University Latino Alumni Council (LAC) is to maximize the academic and social experience of Latinos at Northern Illinois University to serve as a representative voice for Latino alumni and assist in the unification of alumni efforts to further and support the interests of the University.

These goals are accomplished through networking, advocacy, and actively engaging Latino members of the University community and others. Donate today to help further the LAC’s mission!
