Through the generous donations of OLLI members and friends, we are able to offer a limited number of scholarships each year to community members who otherwise would not be able to participate in our programs.

The OLLI scholarship includes a waiver of $50.00 off the $60.00 annual membership fee and includes the same benefits as the annual membership. In addition to the reduced membership fee, scholarship recipients pay only 30% of the fees associated with courses, study groups, and events. 

If you are eager to become an OLLI member and require financial assistance to participate in our lifelong learning community, please complete the application linked below. Applications are reviewed by the OLLI Director, and you will be contacted with our decision within one week of application receipt. All OLLI members must sign the accompanying Osher Liability Waiver form to participate in OLLI activities, which you may sign and include with this application or sign on the day you join.

Once completed, download/save the completed form and return the scholarship application to olli@illinois.edu or to OLLI, 301 North Neil St., Suite 201, Champaign, IL  61820.
