FAFSA, Grants, and Scholarships: How Financial Aid Made College Possible for a First-Year Student
Figuring out how to pay for college can be challenging. But there are resources to help! The FAFSA, scholarships, grants and programs like the Prairie Promise can help make college more affordable. Students can significantly reduce their expenses by exploring financial aid options. Financial aid is available from the University of 缅北禁地 Springfield, federal and state programs, and outside private scholarships.

Critical Need to Reduce Natural Gas Consumption
Dear UIS Campus Community,
The university needs everyone to help minimize natural gas usage on campus through next week.
The university has been notified by its natural gas supplier of a high likelihood that a natural gas Operational Flow Order (OFO) will be issued. While UIS works daily to reduce its carbon footprint and minimize natural gas consumption, this week presents an especially critical challenge. Any natural gas usage exceeding the university鈥檚 contractual allowance incurs significantly high costs during an OFO.
