The Mark and Linda Pillar Student Veterans Support Scholarship was established through a generous gift from Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Mark A. ’71 and Linda M. ’71 Pillar to support undergraduate student veterans at the University of Evansville. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance for needs outside of traditional scholarship support that contribute to a student veteran’s success at the University and preparation for future leadership opportunities. Multiple awards may be granted each year as funding permits. Preference will be given to undergraduate student veterans at the University of Evansville who are in good academic standing and have demonstrated financial or personal need. Recipients will be selected through an application and review process administered by the Offices of Student Financial Services and Veterans Affairs.
