Sarah Bush Lincoln Scholarship


The Sarah Bush Lincoln Scholarship is a new scholarship for local students majoring in Nursing in the EIU Traditional Program. It is a last-dollar scholarship, meaning that it covers any tuition or fees (including room and board) remaining after other scholarships and awards have been applied.

To qualify, you must:

  • Be admitted to Eastern Illinois University

  • Attend high school in, or currently reside in, one of the following Illinois counties: Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, Effingham, Fayette, Jasper, Moultrie, or Shelby.

This award will be announced in the Spring and disbursed the following Fall and Spring. Students may retain the award for a total of 4 years (8 semesters) if they remain continuously enrolled and meet admission and progression criteria for the EIU Nursing Traditional Program.
