Friends of Donna Mauk Memorial Endowed Scholarship
The Friends of Donna Mauk Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established in May 2009 by Ed Warshaw and friends. The purpose of this scholarship is to help students who have lost a parent to cancer or are battling or have survived cancer themselves. Donna's friends believe that she would be pleased to be able to help Illinois State University students who face these challenges. Funds may be used for educational expenses. Donna Mauk lost her life to cancer in 2008, and although she never attended Illinois State University, she shared her life with Steve Mauk, a graduate of the Class of 1979. She also had many close friends that were graduates of Illinois State University. When the fund was converted from restricted to endowed in 2012, Steve Mauk's daughters, Amber Pannell and Tara Boyer, were added as founding donors along with Ed Warshaw.
