NIUAA SCHOLARSHIP AWARD WINNERS Each year, for over 50 years, the NIU Alumni Association has provided financial assistance to thousands of students, and FY20 was no different. The NIU Alumni Association offered 10 $2,500 Merit Scholarships to continuing undergraduate students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors in the 2020-2021 school year and are enrolled full time at NIU for both fall and spring semesters ($1,250 each semester). Each applicant is eligible to receive only one merit scholarship per academic year. Just over 100 continuing and transfer students applied for an NIU Alumni Association Merit Scholarship. After meeting all qualifications, 41 applications were ready to be reviewed by the Student Engagement and Scholarship Committee. Each application was reviewed by committee members and ranked with a score. The top 10 applications were identified and the scholarship recipients were:
