The Parent Fund

About

The Parent Fund offers financial assistance to qualified students that are currently enrolled at Illinois Wesleyan who lose a parent to death, or a parent has undertaken a permanent disability.

Many Illinois Wesleyan parents choose to contribute to this fund, making it possible to award a Parent Grant that helps defray costs for families in need. Illinois Wesleyan 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. 

Make a Gift  

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.
