Over the years, the SIUC Black Alumni Group has awarded thousands of dollars to help Black students succeed. BAG manages two scholarships to support current undergraduate students, and funds are primarily raised through the biennial BAG Reunion. Learn more about each of the scholarships here.
- Support Black Undergraduate Education (SBUE) Scholarship Program assists Black undergraduate students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The amount of the scholarship is determined by several factors, including investment earnings of the endowment and donations received. Grants are awarded in the fall semester.
- John Holmes Memorial Bridge Academic Grants helps Black undergraduate students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale to bridge the financial gap for their expenses during the semester, such as tuition, fees, books, lab fees and required supplies. Grants are awarded in $500 increments once a semester.
