An important priority for the Moms Association is providing student scholarships annually.
We continually fundraise for our Annual Student Scholarships and kindly accept

Mom of the Year Award
Does your mom deserve recognition for her unwavering love and endless support during your academic career? Tell us about it! Every January, the application opens for you to nominate your mom. We will recognize her at Moms' Weekend.
Illini Spirit Award
We are looking to support unique initiatives that promote the growth and development of the students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The organization will receive a monetary donation of $2,000 to be used to support the event and/or program submitted in the proposal. Applications open every January.
Medallion of Honor
This is an opportunity to congratulate a talented woman in your department or bring the achievements of one of your graduates to the attention of a wide and varied audience. Self-nominations are not recognized as potential award recipients. Applications open every January.

A successful candidate has performed outstanding and innovative service to others within the local University community, demonstrates honesty and integrity, and is focused on the well-being of others. Each award includes $500 for the recipient and a $500 grant to the organization of service mentioned in the application. Applications open every January.
