The GLBT Student Support Fund provides emergency grants for students who lose the financial support of his/her family due to their sexual orientation.

Awards will be considered by the GLBT Student Support Fund Selection Committee. The Selection Committee consists of the Executive Board of Illinois State University’s Triangle Association and the Dean of Students. Students requesting assistance should contact Diversity Advocacy at (309) 438-8968.
Since 2004, Assistant Dean of Students Rick Lewis has competed in the 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon to raise funds to support book scholarships for participants in the Minority Academic Scholar Achievement Initiative and student employees working in Diversity Advocacy. This is a one-time award which will be distributed in April at the Annual Awards and Recognition Ceremony celebrating the achievements of minority students, faculty, and staff at Illinois State.
