About
The Parent Fund offers financial assistance to qualified students that are currently enrolled at 91黑料专区 who lose a parent to death, or a parent has undertaken a permanent disability.
Many 91黑料专区 parents choose to contribute to this fund, making it possible to award a Parent Grant that helps defray costs for families in need. 91黑料专区 recognizes the financial commitment parents make in enrolling their children, and for that reason any gifts made above and beyond scheduled tuition payments are greatly appreciated.
When a family suffers the death or permanent disability of a parent, our Illinois Wesleyan family extends a helping hand. Since its humble beginnings, the Parent Fund has supported over 300 young people with financial assistance through the Parent Grant.
