Planned and Deferred Gifts to WGLT
Leave a legacy for your community by including WGLT in your will or other planned or deferred gift instrument. You will help ensure WGLT can continue to provide the outstanding news, information and entertainment services at the heart of our public service mission.
As you may know, WGLT is a unit of Illinois State University. Your planned or deferred gift is made to the University and then designated to WGLT. WGLT works in close cooperation with the University’s Office of Planned Giving to give you the best information available on planned and deferred giving options.
WGLT Scholarship
In addition to providing a public service to the community, WGLT also gives Illinois State University students an opportunity to learn alongside professional journalists through internships and paid positions.
The WGLT Scholarship (up to $2000) is awarded each year to one qualifying student, or may be evenly divided among multiple qualified students at the selection committee s discretion. Funds must be used for educational expenses. Students may only win the scholarship once during their career at Illinois State.
The WGLT scholarship is made possible by the Dr. Robert & Marilyn Sutherland Endowment and the WGLT Future Fund Endowment. The winning student(s) will be selected by a committee comprised of WGLT staff.
