Eastern Illinois University has announced three new scholarship programs. These programs are funded with the AIM HIGH Grant signed into state law in August, and they are using those funds both to make higher education more accessible to students around the state and to encourage them to stay in Illinois.
Here’s a quick description of each of the three programs:

Here’s a quick description of each of the three programs:
- EIU Promise
EIU will offset the remaining balance of a student’s tuition and fee costs for resident families with an income of $61,000 or less. - EIU Cost Match
EIU will match the out-of-pocket cost of attendance of any regionally accredited public university in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio or Wisconsin. For example, if a student’s out-of-pocket cost at EIU is $5,000 and it’s $3,000 at a qualifying university, we’ll provide them with a $2,000 scholarship to match the difference. - EIU Merit Scholarship Bonus< br /> Any student who qualifies for our automatic Merit Scholarships will receive a $500 bonus per year if they are an Illinois resident. That makes the 4-year value of the scholarship anywhere from $10,000 to $18,000
