The Naomi and Robert Lynn Distinguished Capital Scholars Scholarship was established in honor of Naomi B. Lynn, Chancellor of UIS for nine years. Under her watch the university welcomed its first freshmen and sophomore students to the campus and began its first doctoral program. Ms. Lynn also served on civic boards and advisory committees throughout Springfield. Naomi and Robert Lynn Scholars can receive scholarship awards for up to four years. Applicants must be full-time, freshman or sophomore residential students with high academic merit. Scholarship is renewable pending maintenance of academic merit.
