It’s scholarship application time! Let’s be honest; scholarships are among the most important parts of your college experience, but earning the scholarship by completing the application and personal statement is not exactly easy or fun. This handout reviews the UIS Donor-Funded Institutional Scholarship Application to make that process a little easier!
In addition to the explicit thank you, another aspect of the scholarship thank you letter is to explain how these funds will impact your studies and your future: why it matters. To effectively explain, you will need to offer up some details about yourself, including your past, present, and future. Let’s unpack what might fit into each:
The weeks before finals can be a very stressful time for students, and it is important to take time to relax and relieve some stress through fun activities.
There will be a variety of fun activities students are welcome to partake in such as: outdoor games, frisbee, door raffle for prizes, sensory bottles, flower pot painting, chalk, and much more! Food will also be provided at the event.
A Pre-Nursing and Nursing collaboration, in partnership with SNA and Memorial Health.
Final tests can be a stressful time for all students, so it is important to take some time to relax and de-stress during these final weeks of the Spring 2023 semester. Come down to the SAB Building on Thursday, April 27th, from 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. to partake in a variety of activities to de-stress, relax, and have fun!
The Agenda for this event includes:
Finals can be a stressful time, but The Learning Hub is here to help students handle that stress! Students are welcome to study with Learning Hub staff; writing, math, exercise science, accounting, and general academic skills tutors are all available for finals cramming!
Students can also make and decorate flower pots and fly kites (as long as the weather permits) for fun during finals week.
This event will occur on Tuesday, April 18th on the Quad from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M.
