Description
ISU places a high priority on enhancing students' educational and career prospects through research and creative endeavors. Contributing to the Dean's Excellence Fund allows students to represent ISU on a national and global level. This fund supports undergraduate students across various disciplines by assisting them in covering expenses associated with attending conferences, exhibits, national performances, and recitals. These opportunities enrich and elevate our students’ educational experience and provide opportunities for experiential learning.
Impact
Your contributions to the CAL Dean's Excellence Fund directly impact students through student scholarships and the funding of student opportunities.

"I took a job as a preschool teacher at Grace Lutheran and fell in love with teaching though I still have a lot to learn. This scholarship allows me to complete my degree and will allow me to further my education to complete teaching certifications in hopes to become an Elementary teacher."
