Opportunities to Give to the Division of Student Affairs

Friends of the Division of Student Affairs can give to a variety of funds and scholarships, which are used to support students in their pursuit of higher education at Indiana State. These funds and scholarships serve a wide variety of students and student needs and foster wellness, stability and success in Indiana State’s student body.

Some of our signature funds include:

The Michael Phillips fund
The fund is named for former ISU Ombudsperson Michael Phillips and is an invaluable resource for all Indiana State students and families. The fund was created to provide monetary assistance to students who have an emergency need for funding. This support can make all the difference in a student's security and academic success.
Miss Indiana State University Scholarship
The Miss Indiana State University Scholarship Program is a preliminary for the Miss Indiana and the Miss America. Miss Indiana State University has been in existence since 1958. Scholarships are the foundation of this program. The four points of the crown are scholarship, service, style and success.
The Edgerton & Elsey Scholarship
The Edgerton & Elsey Undergraduate Scholarship in Student Affairs was developed to honor the contributions of Mr. Paul Edgerton and Dr. Robert Elsey, two long-standing Indiana State University administrators in the Division of Student Affairs.
